Abstract
We describe 2 Kawasaki disease patients with excellent long-term patency of saphenous vein grafts, who underwent coronary artery bypass at age 7 and 9 years, respectively, and demonstrated normal growth during 22 years of follow-up. The grafts showed no deterioration and played an important role in coronary blood supply.
