[Treatment of a case of Kawasaki's disease complicated with myocardial infarction].
Coronary artery by-pass graft (CABG) and ventricular aneurysmectomy were done for a 2.5 years old girl with Kawasaki's disease complicated by myocardial ischemia and old myocardial infarction, left ventricular aneurysm formation and heart failure. Post-operatively, the cardiac out-put of the patient increased, the heart failure syndrome disappeared, and cardiac function improved to class I(NYHA) one month later. In the 6-year follow-up, the patient kept her heart function at class I, and had normal growth and development. Coronary artery by-pass graft is an effective therapeutic strategy for childhood myocardial ischemia, and attention should be paid to some special considerations.
