Abstract

Abstract: Kawasaki disease (KD) is a common vasculitis disorder of childhood. It can sometimes complicate coronary artery aneurysms, and treatment is required depending on the condition of stenosis. A 20-year-old man was referred for surgery with a coronary artery aneurysm and stenosis in the left coronary artery as sequelae of KD. He had a surgical history of left pneumothorax and bullae remaining on the right lung. We simultaneously performed off-pump coronary artery bypass for coronary artery stenosis and bullectomy. Coronary artery aneurysms with KD complicated by pneumothorax are rare, and we treated them using one-stage surgery.
