Off-pump coronary bypass grafting for kawasaki disease.

2010 
A 6-year-old girl, a known case of Kawasaki disease, presented with acute thrombotic occlusion of right coronary artery (RCA) with symptoms of acute angina and myocardial dysfunction. She underwent beating heart off-pump coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery with right internal mammary artery (RIMA) grafted to distal RCA. Follow-up computed tomography angiogram revealed well-flowing RIMA with no obstruction or kink. This case highlights the importance of CABG as a safe and life-saving procedure in expert hands, even for children in emergent conditions.
