Abstract
- Most myocardial bridgings are found incidentally without symptoms, but myocardial bridging may induce symptoms such as angina, myocardial infarction, and ventricular arrythmia. In a patient who has symptoms despite of proper medication, stent insertion, supra-arterial myotomy or coronary artery bypass grafting have been applied without a definite guideline of treatment. We report two surgical cases of myocardial bridging with a review of the literature.
