Abstract:
A 13-year-old boy who suffered from Kawasaki disease at the age of 2 months underwent percutaneous transluminal coronary rotational ablation for coronary stenosis. After this procedure, coronary spasm occurred and he experienced acute myocardial infarction within 10 days. Total occlusion of the LAD was demonstrated by coronary angiography. Coronary spasm after such a procedure is one of the most dangerous complications causing acute myocardial infarction.
