Fig. 4From: Intimal thickening and disruption of the media occur in the arterial walls of coronary arteries not associated with coronary arterial aneurysms in patients with Kawasaki diseaseCorrelation between differences in coronary artery diameter Z-score and intimal cross-sectional area. The median difference in UCG-determined coronary artery diameter Z-score between acute and convalescent phase was 2.37 (range 0.22–13.90). OCT examination revealed intimal thickening in many patients, and there was a correlation between the difference in UCG-determined coronary artery diameter Z-score between acute and convalescent phases and OCT-determined intimal cross-sectional area (rs = 0.366, 95% confidence interval: − 0.219 to 0.579; p = 0.028)Back to article page
