Abstract

The clinical significance of myocardial bridges (MBs) is variable, and most patients are asymptomatic. However, angina, myocardial infarction, and sudden death have been reported in association with MBs. Here we describe the use of intracoronary stenting for the treatment of a patient with an anterior myocardial infarction due to an MB.
