title: Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty following Kawasaki Disease.
abstract: Kawasaki disease (KD) can result in coronary artery disease in the form of ectasia, aneurysm and stenosis. The final complication can be myocardial infarction. We report a child who presented with severe left ventricular dysfunction following KD and was detected on angiography to have total left anterior descending artery occlusion. Angioplasty was done which resulted in improvement in the flow. Follow up angiography a year later showed recurrence of total occlusion.
