Description
Mohammad-Taghi Majnoon and colleagues report a 2026 case of a 6-year-old boy whose Kawasaki disease attacked all three main heart arteries at once. Kawasaki disease inflames vessels in children and can balloon coronary arteries, but triple-vessel disease with a giant aneurysm is rare and severe. Standard immunoglobulin on day eight settled fever, yet scans later showed a giant left anterior descending aneurysm plus widening of the other two arteries.
A clot formed inside the giant aneurysm, prompting steroids, cyclosporine, infliximab, thinners, and antiplatelet drugs. Angiography showed partial flow past the aneurysm with preserved downstream supply, so surgery was deferred. Two arteries improved while the giant aneurysm and clot persisted, yet the boy stayed stable with normal daily life, showing drugs plus close watch can carry even severe cases.
