Probable Kawasaki disease in a 52-year-old man presenting with acute myocardial infarction treated with percutaneous revascularization.
This is a case report of a 52-year-old man who presented with an acute myocardial infarction. In the process of performing an angiogram to delineate the anatomy for possible percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty, large, diffuse coronary aneurysms were observed. When the vessel was opened, several aneurysms were seen to contain thrombus. The size, location, and diffuseness of the aneurysms are suggestive of Kawasaki disease.
