Abstract:
Coronary artery lesions are the most serious complications of Kawasaki disease.The incidence of Kawasaki disease is still on the rise in recent years, and the proportion of children with coronary artery dilatation increased in parallel with the incidence of Kawasaki disease.But the incidence of severe coronary artery lesions, such as giant coronary aneurysms, coronary artery stenosis and even occlusion is stable or declining.The pathological changes of coronary artery disease are different with the severity and duration of the disease.Early recognition of coronary artery lesions should not be limited to the observation of luminal dimensions, but also should be explored in depth about the changes of coronary artery structure and function.
