| Popis: | An 8-year-old girl with Kawasaki disease underwent surgical revascularization to the left anterior descending coronary artery on the beating heart via a left anterior short thoracotomy. Angiography 21 months after surgery showed excellent graft patency. This case--the first success in minimally invasive surgical coronary artery revascularization in a child in the world--suggests that minimally invasive methods are a reasonable alternative in coronary artery revascularization in a child with Kawasaki disease whose left anterior descending artery is the only requiring it. |
