Acute myocardial infarction caused by coronary artery aneurysms typically occurs within 1 to 2 years after Kawasaki disease onset. We report a rare case of sudden death from acute myocardial infarction caused by thrombotic occlusion in a coronary artery aneurysm in a 41-year-old patient diagnosed Kawasaki disease at age 5 years.
