A 20-year-old male was first diagnosed with Kawasaki disease at age 2 years 9 months. Coronary angiography in the acute phase revealed coronary aneurysms, so chronic antiplatelet therapy was initiated with aspirin and ticlopidine. The patient was asymptomatic and was followed up. Stress myocardial imaging showed asymptomatic myocardial ischemia at age 20 years. Coronary angiography was performed, and revealed 99% occlusion of the right coronary artery and collateral circulation from the left coronary artery. Occlusion was attributed to coronary aneurysm thrombosis. Much remains unknown about the long-term prognosis in patients with coronary aneurysm associated with Kawasaki disease. Asymptomatic children who are followed up sometimes develop ischemic heart disease as young adults. This case highlights the need for long-term follow-up in patients with Kawasaki disease and coronary aneurysms.
