title: Coronary artery bypass grafting for coronary aneurysms due to Kawasaki disease.
abstract: We report a 23-year-old man who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) for coronary aneurysms associated with Kawasaki disease using the left internal thoracic artery (LITA) and right gastroepiploic artery (RGEA) after a second myocardial infarction (MI). Preoperatively, this patient showed repetitive occlusion and recanalization of coronary artery flow without coronary stenosis. Indication of bypass surgery in Kawasaki disease is usually associated with stenosis. However, even an aneurysm alone should be an indication of surgery if there is any kind of ischemic event.
