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 anteri
Although use of thrombolytic therapy during primary angioplasty is controversial, the development of a monoclonal antibody (c7E3 Fab) to the platelet glycoprotein llblllla receptor has been a tremendous breakthrough in the field of interventional cardiology. Use of the antibody during high-risk angi
