The Impact

Objective: Kawasaki disease (KD) occurs in five-year-old or younger children. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of high-dose intravenous immunoglobulin plus acetylsalicylic acid therapy on the prevention and treatment of coronary artery lesions and to evaluate the impact of high-dose acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) on the hearing of the patients. Materials and methods: In this retrospective cohort study, 31 patients with KD were followed from January 2012 to December 2015. The clinical, para-clinical, color Doppler echocardiogram and audiometry results were evaluated. Results: Overall, seven cases (22.6%) developed coronary artery aneurysm (CAA) in the acute phase of the disease, of whom only two still had CAA at the end of the treatment (6%). One of the five children with CAA recovery had a delay in the onset of treatment and one of two patients with persistent CAA at the end of treatment was admitted within the first 10 days. There was no evidence-based abnormal liver biochemical test.  None of the patients developed sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) on audiometry tests conducted before and after treatment. Conclusion: Recovery of coronary artery lesions was 71.43% after 28 days of the onset of treatment. The distribution of coronary artery aneurysm was not different in terms of the time of the treatment initiation (P-Value = 0.371). None of the children had a sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) 48 hours and 4 weeks after treatment.

The Right

Right coronary artery aneurysms are rare and may result from severe coronary disease, with few cases described in the literature. Mortality is high, and therapy is still controversial. We report the case of a 72-year-old woman with arterial hypertension, and a family history of coronary artery disease, who evolved for 2 months with episodes of palpitations and dyspnea on moderate exertion. During the evaluation, a giant aneurysm was found in the proximal third of the right coronary artery. The patient underwent surgical treatment with grafting of the radial artery to the right coronary artery and ligation of the aneurysmal sac, with good clinical course.
