Coexistence of Coronary Artery Ectasia and Myocardial Bridging: A Case Report

Ectasia is the term used to describe the dilation of a coronary artery when its diameter is 1.5 times that of a normal artery. Myocardial bridge (MB) is a congenital coronary abnormality where a coronary artery segment tunnels across myocardial tissue, with coronary angiography (CAG) is the gold standard method for diagnosis. Here, we describe a case of an Afghan man who had both coronary artery ectasia and MB in the same segment of his left anterior descending artery (LAD).

Abstract

Ectasia is the term used to describe the dilation of a coronary artery when its diameter is 1.5 times that of a normal artery. Myocardial bridge (MB) is a congenital coronary abnormality where a coronary artery segment tunnels across myocardial tissue, with coronary angiography (CAG) is the gold standard method for diagnosis. Here, we describe a case of an Afghan man who had both coronary artery ectasia and MB in the same segment of his left anterior descending artery (LAD).
