Abstract

A 10-year-old boy developed coronary artery stenosis 9 years after suffering Kawasaki disease with coronary artery aneurysms at the age of 7 months old. Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty was performed successfully to dilate the coronary arteries in order to prevent obstruction of the coronary arteries.
