title: [Clinical evaluation of surgical treatment of children with Kawasaki disease].
abstract: Clinical problems in the surgical treatment for the vascular lesion after Kawasaki disease were evaluated in five patients who underwent myocardial revascularization. Each patient had significant stenosis or complete occlusion with aneurysmal formation. Four patients received single aortocoronary bypass and one patient received double bypass. Three saphenous veins and three internal mammary arteries were used for bypass grafting. There were no operative or late deaths. Three saphenous vein grafts and two internal mammary artery grafts were patent both in the early postoperative and in the late postoperative studies. Progression of the obstructive lesions at other coronary arteries which were not bypassed at the operation were found in two patients. One patient revealed bilateral common iliac aneurysms associated with progressive obstruction of urinary tract followed by renal dysfunction. It appears that even the patient who had satisfactory surgical results in late studies are required to be followed up with utmost care to other coronary lesions or other vascular lesions in addition to the lesions bypassed.
