Implantación de stent coronario por angina de pecho recurrente secundaria a puente muscular / Coronary stent placement for recurrent angina secondary to myocardial bridging: report of two cases

Myocardial bridging of the epicardic coronary arteries is not an uncommon finding in angiographic or necropsic studies. Patients who have symptoms usually improve with medical treatment. However, in refractory patients a surgical myotomy of overlying myocardium and/or a coronary bypass may be needed.
