CAA status of the KD group (n=92) | n (% of all KD patients) |
---|---|
CAA+ | 38 (41) |
CAA >8 mm | 7 (8) |
Persistent CAA | 7 (8) |
Regressed CAA | 0 (0) |
CAA <8 mm | 31 (34) |
Persistent CAA | 10 (11) |
Regressed CAA | 21 (23) |
CAA− | 54 (59) |
CAA+: CAA defined at any stage after the initial KD episode (see Methods). CAA−: no evidence of coronary aneurysm at any stage. Persistent CAA (n=17, 19%): any CAA+ subject who still had echocardiographic evidence of CAA on the day of study (see Methods). Regressed CAA (n=21, 23%): CAA+ subjects whose aneurysms had regressed on echocardiography on the day of study. 6/38 of the CAA+ patients developed coronary stenosis; these included 4/7 of the patients with giant (>8 mm) CAA, three of whom required a revascularisation procedure.
CAA, coronary artery aneurysm; KD, Kawasaki disease.
