Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Interventional
Defibrotide 6.25 mg/kg IV q6h
Drug: Defibrotide
Defibrotide 6.25 mg/kg IV q6h up to 7 days

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Number of patients with grade III/IV allergic reaction to defibrotide [ Time Frame: 30 days ]
    All patients will be monitored for allergic reaction probably or definitely related to defibrotide administration.

  2. Number of patients with grade III/IV hemorrhage attributable to defibrotide [ Time Frame: 42 days ]
    All patients will be monitored for hemorrhage probably or definitely related to defibrotide.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Number of patients with improvement in clinical progression/signs of Kawasaki disease [ Time Frame: 42 days ]
    Patients will have pre and post treatment assessments with imaging and blood tests to monitor clinical signs of Kawasaki disease
