Abstract :
Angiographically evident myocardial bridges confined to the other arteries rather than the left anterior descending artery is very rare in the literature. Also cardiac computerized tomography studies and postmortem studies demonstrated that myocardial bridges are not as rare as the angiographic series and may be confined to the other arteries rather than the left anterior descending. We reported a very rare case with myocardial bridge on right coronary artery diagnosed by coronary angiography causing severe obstruction. We want to share this angiographically visible myocardial bridge confined to the right coronary artery and discuss the potential reasons for the frequency dilemma among different diagnostic tools.
