Evaluation of multiple coronary artery aneurysms in Kawasaki's disease by whole heart non-contrast enhanced MRI.
We describe a patient with history of an acute coronary syndrome. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) was used for the assessment of coronary artery status using a high-resolution whole heart coronary artery imaging sequence, cardiac function at rest and detection of myocardial fibrosis using delayed enhancement. In the current case there were multiple giant aneurysms, one with evidence of thrombosis in combination with wall motion abnormalities and late enhancement in the myocardial segments supplied by this coronary artery.
