Abstract:BackgroundKawasaki disease (KD) is a systemic vasculitis; systemic arteries other than the coronary arteries should therefore also be evaluated. This study investigated the feasibility of evaluating coronary aneurysms, systemic artery aneurysms (SAAs), and cerebrovascular diseases in patients with KD using non‐contrast magnetic resonance angiography (NC‐MRA).MethodsCoronary artery protocols, including coronary magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) and vessel wall imaging, were performed in 57 examinations of 28… Show more
