Chronic total occlusion by stent fracture in Kawasaki disease: is recanalisation possible?

Cardiol Young. 2012 Apr;22(2):232-4. doi: 10.1017/S1047951111001041. Epub 2011 Jul 26.

Abstract

Despite various medications for Kawasaki disease, a small number of children have been undergoing interventions for severe coronary artery complications. Transcatheter intervention is a feasible alternative to coronary artery bypass grafting in a patient with chronic totally occluded lesion after Kawasaki disease, even by stent fracture.
