Abstract
Myocardial bridging is often detected during diagnostic coronary angiography in patients with congenital and acquired heart defects. In most cases, muscle bridging does not require surgical treatment. Myocardial bridging and tunnels causing compression of one or more major coronary arteries is a potential cause of myocardial ischemia in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The authors report surgical treatment of a patient with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and myocardial bridging of the left anterior descending artery.
