ABSTRACT
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a high-resolution intracoronary arterial imaging modality. We describe 2 patients who were admitted to undergo coronary angiography and OCT for follow-up of Kawasaki disease with coronary artery aneurysms. OCT clearly demonstrated thrombus, stenosis, fibrotic intimal thickening with lamellar calcification, and partial disappearance of the tunica media at the aneurysm site. In addition, focal calcification, intimal thickening, and medial irregularity were observed even in regions of coronary arterial walls that appeared to be normal using coronary angiography. OCT is useful for evaluating coronary arterial sequelae of Kawasaki disease.
