Table 3. Definition of risk level in long-term management

Classification AHA guideline JCS guideline
I No involvement at any timepoint (Z score always < 2) No dilated lesions
II Dilation only (Z score 2 to < 2.5) Transient dilation in the acute phase (normalized by 30 days after onset)
III Small aneurysm (Z score ≥ 2.5 to < 5)3.1 Current or persistent3.2 Decreased to dilation only or normal luminal dimension Residual aneurysm formation equivalent to or greater than dilatation > 30 days, normalized by 1 year after onset
IV Medium aneurysm (Z score ≥ 5 to < 10, and absolute dimension < 8 mm)4.1 Current or persistent4.2 Decreased to small aneurysm4.3 Decreased to dilation only or normal luminal dimension Residual unilateral or bilateral coronary artery aneurysm at coronary angiography more than 1 year later
V Large and giant aneurysm (Z score ≥ 10, or absolute dimension ≥ 8 mm)5.1 Current or persistent5.2 Decreased to medium aneurysm5.3 Decreased to small aneurysm5.4 Decreased to dilation only or normal luminal dimension Coronary artery stenosis at coronary angiography (a) No ischemic findings (b) Ischemic finding
