Williams syndrome (WS) is a genetic disorder due to deficiency of elastin gene expression. It is characterized by typical somatic abnormalities and a wide range of cardiovascular malformations. Coronary artery involvement is a frequent finding of the syndrome, particularly in those patients with severe supravalvular aortic stenosis. We present the case of an 11-month-old infant affected by WS who developed severe coronary artery disease 2 months after the surgical repair of supravalvular aortic stenosis. The clinical picture and successful surgical revascularization strategy is also described.
威廉姆斯综合征(WS)是一种由于弹性蛋白基因表达缺陷导致的遗传性疾病。其特征为典型的躯体异常和多种心血管畸形。冠状动脉受累是该综合征的常见表现,尤其是在那些患有严重主动脉瓣上狭窄的患者中。我们报告一例11个月大患威廉姆斯综合征的婴儿,其在主动脉瓣上狭窄手术修复2个月后出现严重冠状动脉疾病。文中还描述了临床表现及成功的手术血运重建策略。
