✦ Synopsis

The clinical significance of myocardial bridges (MBs) is variable, and most patients are asymptomatic. However, angina, myocardial infarction, and sudden death have been reported in association with MBs. Here we describe the use of intracoronary stenting for the treatment of a patient with an anterior myocardial infarction due to an MB.

Acute anterior wall myocardial infarction is a rare but often catastrophic presentation of ascending aortic dissection. We report the case of a patient who was successfully treated by direct stenting of the left main coronary artery, allowing for definitive surgical correction.
