Miyokardiyal köprüleşmenin neden olduğu miyokard infarktüsü

Koroner arterlerin miyokardiyal köprüleşmesi tesadüfen saptanan anjiyografik bir bulgu olarak düşünülmektedir, fakat birkaç rapor angina pectoris, miyokard iskemisi hatta infarktüsü ile ilişkisini göstermiştir. Burada biz, akut inferior miyokard infarktüsü ile başvuran ve anjiyografisinde sirkumfleks arterin orta kısmına yerleşmiş izole miyokardiyal tünelleşmenin olduğu genç bir hastayı sunmaktayız.

Acute myocardial infarction resulting from myocardial bridging

Myocardial bridging of coronary arteries has been considered as an incidental angiographic finding; however, several reports suggest its association with angina pectoris, myocardial ischemia and even infarction. Herein we described a young patient presented with acute inferior myocardial infarction and whose coronary angiography showed isolated myocardial bridging located to middle portion of circumflex artery.
