## Abstract Stent implantation into an infarct‐related artery during acute myocardial infarction is generally contraindicated because of the risk of stent thrombosis. We report on 3 patients who had successful stenting for an acute occlusive dissection that developed during direct infarct coronary
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
