Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Myocardial bridge is the most common congenital coronary anomaly. Patients with this anomaly are usually asymptomatic, but it may cause myocardial ischemia that may lead to myocardial infarction. Treatment for myocardial bridge remains controversial. Current recommendations include medical therapy, surgical treatment (unroofing myotomy), coronary artery bypass, and percutaneous coronary stenting. We report two cases of stent fracture following stenting of a myocardial bridge. The risk of stent fracture leading to restenosis and/or stent thrombosis should be considered when assessing the risks and benefits of coronary revascularization of a myocardial bridge. |
