A, B Left coronary angiography in the same patient at two time points (A age 9 months, acute phase 53 days after onset; B age 12 years and 10 months, convalescent phase 12 years and 2 months after onset). C, D Optical coherence tomography (OCT) images of a coronary artery in the convalescent phase (C, region 1; D, region 2). A The left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) appears normal (proximal inner diameter, 2.1 mm) and the left circumflex artery (LCX) has a small coronary artery aneurysm (CAA) (maximum inner diameter, 4.0 mm). B The LAD remains normal (proximal inner diameter, 3.1 mm; region 1; classified in group N) and the LCX CAA has regressed (inner diameter, 2.7 mm; region 2; classified in group R). C OCT of region 1 shows the three arterial lamina, partial disruption of the media (white arrows), and mild intimal thickening. D OCT of region 2 shows widespread abnormal intimal thickening and disruption of the media
