Abstract
Kawasaki Disease (KD) is an immunological disease which affects mainly children and young adolescents. This disease has its own challenges; mainly diagnosis and subsequently the importance of starting treatment early to prevent coronary artery disease later on in their life. This case report intends to describe a young adolescent who was diagnosed late, and eventually developed coronary artery disease. This study also highlights the angiographic changes that can be observed in the coronaries. In this case, the patient underwent coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG), utilizing bilateral internal mammary arteries.
