Abstract

Although dilated coronary arteries are uncommon in children, three cases are presented which, even more unusually, were not associated with Kawasaki’s disease

  • congenital coronary artery dilatation
  • PDA, persistent ductus arteriosus
  • VEGF, vascular endothelial growth factor
  • VSD, ventricular septal defect
