Surgical treatment for aortic regurgitation and left ventricular dysfunction caused by Kawasaki disease
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 August 2008
Summary
A 10-year-old girl required replacement of the aortic valve because of massive regurgitation caused by Kawasaki disease at the age of 3 months. Postoperatively, left ventricular function and mass improved remarkably, with reduction of both hypertrophy and interstitial fibrosis. During a follow-up period of 10 years, she has been free from any cardiac event.
