There were two groups based on the timing of the left main trunk occlusion. In the one-time occlusion group, all seven patients had nearly fatal cardiac events. In the second-step occlusion group, 8 (73%) of 11 patients had asymptomatic occlusions of the left main trunk; they underwent grafting to the left anterior descending artery. The median ages at the left main trunk occlusion in the one-time and the second-step group were 18.1 years (range 4.9 to 26.3) and 25.0 years (2.2 to 45.0), respectively. In the second-step group, the median interval from the coronary artery bypass grafting to the left main truncus occlusion was 7.9 years (6 days to 24.5 years). Their left ventricular ejection fraction ranged from 20 to 65% (mean 49%).\n                    <jats:italic>Conclusion<\/jats:italic>\n                    : To prevent either a fatal cardiac event or a low left ventricular function, a coronary artery bypass graft to the left anterior descending artery was recommended at an optimal time in each patient with a giant aneurysm of the left main trunk complicating a stenotic lesion of the left anterior descending artery.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s1047951126112098","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,29]],"date-time":"2026-04-29T08:01:20Z","timestamp":1777449680000},"page":"707-715","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/policypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Characteristics and outcomes of patients with occlusion of the left main trunk caused by Kawasaki disease"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"36","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9617-4766","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Etsuko","family":"Tsuda","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/01v55qb38","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"S1047951126112098_ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S1047951100000408"},{"key":"S1047951126112098_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00246-017-1599-4"},{"key":"S1047951126112098_ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00246-015-1297-z"},{"key":"S1047951126112098_ref17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/CIRCULATIONAHA.108.840603"},{"key":"S1047951126112098_ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00246-005-1233-8"},{"key":"S1047951126112098_ref15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.21470\/1678-9741-2018-0029"},{"key":"S1047951126112098_ref18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00246-022-02971-4"},{"key":"S1047951126112098_ref16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/CIRCULATIONAHA.117.027597"},{"key":"S1047951126112098_ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jjcc.2009.03.012"},{"key":"S1047951126112098_ref19","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00246-010-9838-y"},{"key":"S1047951126112098_ref20","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1253\/circj.CJ-19-0511"},{"key":"S1047951126112098_ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S1047951103000544"},{"key":"S1047951126112098_ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00246-004-0698-1"},{"key":"S1047951126112098_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/JAHA.124.034248"},{"key":"S1047951126112098_ref13","first-page":"1708","article-title":"Acute myocardial infarction due to thrombosed saphenous vein graft at 24 years after surgery in a 37 year-old patient with a history of Kawasaki disease - a case report","volume":"31","author":"Fujimoto","year":"2011","journal-title":"Prog Med"},{"key":"S1047951126112098_ref21","first-page":"114","article-title":"Current status of Kawasaki disease and the role of nuclear cardiology","volume":"5","author":"Tsuda","year":"2019","journal-title":"Ann Nucl Caldiol"},{"key":"S1047951126112098_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF02315475"},{"key":"S1047951126112098_ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/ped.12253"},{"key":"S1047951126112098_ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ahj.2007.03.034"},{"key":"S1047951126112098_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00246-004-0698-1"},{"key":"S1047951126112098_ref8","first-page":"53","article-title":"Coronary artery bypass grafting for coronary artery stenosis caused by Kawasaki disease","volume":"7","author":"Tsuda","year":"2009","journal-title":"Expert Rev CardiovascTher"}],"container-title":["Cardiology in the Young"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.cambridge.org\/core\/services\/aop-cambridge-core\/content\/view\/S1047951126112098","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,2]],"date-time":"2026-06-02T10:55:29Z","timestamp":1780397729000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.cambridge.org\/core\/product\/identifier\/S1047951126112098\/type\/journal_article"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026,4]]},"references-count":21,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2026,4]]}},"alternative-id":["S1047951126112098"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/s1047951126112098","relation":{},"ISSN":["1047-9511","1467-1107"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1047-9511","type":"print"},{"value":"1467-1107","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2026,4]]},"assertion":[{"value":"\u00a9 The Author(s), 2026.
