ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
To determine the long-term outcomes among a cohort of patients with Kawasaki disease (KD) and a history of giant coronary artery aneurysms (CAAs) at a single US center. STUDYDESIGN:
Medical records for all patients with KD and giant CAAs at a pediatric academic institution were reviewed. Primary outcomes included major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and normalization of CA luminal diameter, using Kaplan-Meier analyses.RESULTS:
There were 60 patients with KD and giant CAAs identified between 1989 and 2023. The majority of patients were male (71.7%) with a median age at diagnosis of 0.9 years (range, 0.2-13.3 years). Patients were followed for a median of 11 years, up to 34.5 years. MACE occurred in 13 patients (21.7%) at a median of 1.4 years (range, 0.04-22.6 years) after KD diagnosis. The 10-, 20-, and 30-year MACE-free rates were 75%, 75%, and 60%. Patients with maximal CA z scores of ≥20 or bilateral CAA were more likely to have MACE. During follow-up, 26.7% of CAA regressed to a normal luminal diameter at a median of 3.6 years (range, 0.6-12.0 years). The 10-, 20- and 30-year likelihood of CA regression to normal luminal diameter was 36%, 46%, and 46%.CONCLUSIONS:
Over 30 years, MACE occurred in nearly 22% of patients, more often in those with bilateral CAA or CA z scores of ≥20. Despite regression to a normal luminal diameter in >25% of CAAs, patients with a history of KD-associated giant CAA require ongoing surveillance for cardiac complications, even years after the initial disease.
