Bilateral internal thoracic artery grafting in children under 5 years of age with Kawasaki disease: a case series.

1 Total annual hospitalization rates have shown a decreasing trend in the incidence of KD over the past 10 years in the USA (18.0 per 100 000 children under 5 years of age in 2012). 2 Conversely, its incidence has increased in Japan (309.0 per 100 000 children under 5 years of age in 2016). 3 Giant coronary aneurysms associated with KD are less likely to regress to normal-sized arteries, resulting in the possible development of a severe stenotic lesion just proximal or distal to the aneurysm during a long-term period.
