| Popis: | Potential risk for early development of atherosclerosis in patients with antecedent-Kawasaki disease (KD) is now attracting more attention. A 47-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of calcification exclusively in the proximal segment of left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) on chest CT. Coronary CT revealed a severe stenosis at the inlet of the aneurysm with eggshell-like calcification in the proximal LAD, highly suspecting the presence of coronary sequelae of KD. During the rotational atherectomy-based interventional procedure, optical frequency domain imaging, a new generation of optical coherence tomography, clearly depicted lipid deposition in the culprit lesion. |
