Follow-Up Chest X-Ray in Patients with Kawasaki Disease: The Significance and Clinical Application of Coronary Artery Macro-Calcification
Pediatric Cardiology, 10/09/09
Lapierre C et al. – Plain chest X–ray, a simple inexpensive low dose mean, easily identifies KD patients at risk for serious CA stenosis when specific search for CA calcification is pursued. When detected, a closer tracking of coronary artery patency is warranted via other imaging techniques, usually expensive, invasive, requiring sedation in children or exposing to high radiation.
