ABSTRACT
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. We report two patients with long myocardial bridges in the mid-left anterior descending coronary artery, who had recurrent angina refractory to conventional treatment. In both patients two consecutive coronary stents were successfully implanted. At five and six months follow-up they are asymptomatic and with good exercise tolerance
