Abstract: Objective To investigate the advantages of using the radial artery as a conduit in adolescent CABG by reporting the treatment of a child with a giant coronary artery aneurysm complicating Kawasaki disease who underwent total arterial coronary artery bypass grafting(CABG)and to review relevant literature. Methods A case of a 13-year-old male with a coronary artery aneurysm secondary to Kawasaki disease was reviewed. The child developed a large coronary artery aneurysm as a complication of Kawasaki disease. CABG was performed using bilateral radial arteries as grafts. Results Postoperative recovery was uneventful, with patency of the grafts and significant improvement in cardiac function. Conclusion Coronary artery aneurysms caused by Kawasaki disease are a leading cause of acquired heart disease in children. CABG plays a critical role in treating giant coronary aneurysms. The selection of arterial grafts is crucial for ensuring survival and optimal outcomes.
