Abstract
We report a unique case of Kawasaki disease with late sudden death from obliteration of the lumen of the full length of the left anterior descending coronary artery. Sequential echocardiograms showed early uniform coronary dilatation that resolved before sudden death. The implications of obliterative "healing" of coronary ectasia are unknown.
