d. Replacement of an aneurysm with a graft in Behcet’s disease is associated with recurrent aneurysms and thrombosis

Kawasaki disease is a disorder of infants and children with coronary aneurysms. Polyarteritis nodosa usually occurs in males and the inflammatory process involves small and medium-sized muscular arteries. Behcet’s disease is a vasculitis that produces venous thrombosis, and when arterial aneurysms are present, the mortality rate approaches 20%. Because of the fragility of the arteries, recurrent aneurysm formation is likely.
