Anticoagulation and thrombolysis may be insufficient for treatment of acute coronary syndrome in case of impending thrombotic occlusion of giant coronary aneurysms in KD. Our case demonstrates that a thrombus can still continue to grow despite triple anticoagulation therapy and well-tailored cardiovascular follow-up, which can be most likely attributed to the state of low blood flow inside the aneurysm.
