Pregnancy and delivery in patients with coronary artery lesions caused by Kawasaki disease

摘要

Thirty seven years have passed since the first description of Kawasaki disease (KD) and some women with coronary artery lesions caused by KD are now of childbearing age The incidence of giant aneurysms leading to ischaemic heart disease among women is about one third that among men. There is little information on managing pregnancy and delivery in patients with coronary artery disease. We analysed the clinical course of pregnancy and delivery in this population and determined the nature of problems.
