Abstract
Myocardial bridging is a rare congenital coronary artery abnormality in which the epicardial coronary artery is covered by myo - cardial muscle tissue at a distance during its course. Myocardial infarction, ventricular arrhythmias, and sudden cardiac death havebeen associated with myocardial bridging. While myocardial bridges are usually located on the left anterior descending artery,left circumfex artery involvement is reported in a few cases. Here, we present a patient admitted to the coronary care unit withunstable angina pectoris having multivessel coronary artery disease and myocardial bridging on the posterolateral branch of theleft circumfex artery, for the frst time.
Özet
Miyokardiyal köprüleşme, epikardiyal koroner arterin seyri sırasında bir mesafede miyokardiyal kas dokusu ile örtüldüğü nadir bir konjenital koroner arter anomalisidir. Miyokard infarktüsü, ventriküler aritmiler ve ani kardiyak ölüm, miyokardiyal köprüleşme ile ilişkilendirilmektedir. Miyokardiyal köprüler genellikle sol anterior inen arter üzerinde bulunmakta iken, sol sirkumfleks arter tutulumu birkaç vakada bildirilmiştir. Burada ilk kez, anstabil anjina pektoris ile koroner yoğun bakım ünitesine yatırılan, çoklu damar koroner arter hastalığı ve sol sirkumfleks arterin posterolateral dalında miyokard köprüleşmesi olan bir hasta sunmaktayız.
