Analysis of 63 cases of kawasaki disease complicated with coronary aneurysms.

??ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical characteristics and prognosis of coronary aneurysm in children with Kawasaki disease.MethodsCoronary aneurysm was identified by using echocardiography in 63 children with Kawasaki disease from 2000 to 2007.Their gender,age,clinical presentations,use of intravenous gamma immunoglobulin (IVIG),laboratory study results and echocardiographic study results in the acute and convalescent phase were examined retrospectively.Results(1) Boys and infants were more likely to develop coronary aneurysms,the male to female ratio being 5.3??1,and for patients with giant aneurysms the male to female ratio was 8.3??1.(2)The rate of incomplete KD,IVIG non-responders and recurrence in this group of patients were 36.5%,30.2% and 7.9%,respectively,which were higher than the whole KD group.In the acute phase,57 of 63 patients were treated by IVIG with different doses,3 of them did not receive IVIG treatment and the other 3 patients?? IVIG treatments were unknown.The duration from onset to IVIG treatment was longer than 10 days in 36 of the 63 (57.1%) children.(3) Small aneurysms were detected by 2-D echo in 7 patients,medium aneurysms in 19 patients and giant aneurysm in 37 patients.In all of these patients,76.2% of them had left coronary artery aneurysms,and 87.3% of them had right coronary artery aneurysms;47.3% of them had both left and right aneurysms.In the patients with left coronary aneurysms,58.3% of them have left anterior descending branch aneurysms; and in patients with right coronary aneurysms,47.3% of them were located in the right coronary artery segment II.(4) Coronary aneurysm regressed in 71.4 % of the branches.The lumen diameter of the affected branches returned to normal in 45.2% of them,with a mean regression time of 2.1??1.5 years.ConclusionBeing male,younger than 1 year old,incomplete KD,IVIG non-responder,recurrence and later IVIG treatment are possible risk factors of coronary aneurysms in children with Kawasaki disease.Most children have multi-coronary artery aneurysms and left anterior descending branch and right coronary artery are the most commonly affected branches??and most of the coronary aneurysms have the tendency to regress during the convalescent phase.
