Regression and Complications of z-score-Based Giant Aneurysms in a Dutch Cohort of Kawasaki Disease Patients
Kawasaki disease (KD) is a pediatric vasculitis. Its main complication is the development of coronary artery aneurysms (CAA), with giant CAA at the end of the spectrum. We evaluated regression and event-free rates in a non-Asian cohort of patients with giant CAA using the current z-scores adjusted for body surface area instead of absolute diameters. KD patients with giant CAA (z-score ≥10) visiting our outpatient clinic between January 1999 and September 2015 were included. Patient characteristics and clinical details were extracted from medical records. Regression was defined as all coronary... Mehr ...
