Abstract

We report a case of a 22-year-old man with Kawasaki disease presenting with features of cardiac tamponade following rupture of giant aneurysm of his right coronary artery. He underwent an emergency operation. Aneurysmal sac was of size 4x4 cm. The entry point of the aneurysm was sutured. Right coronary artery was grafted with left radial artery. He had an uneventful recovery in the postoperative period.
