Abstract

Myocardial bridging, characterized in myocardial systolic blood flow is prevented due to compression of a coronary artery segment. This condition detected by coronary angiography is usually accepted benign. A 52 years old man, who had effort angina for three months, has been diagnosed non-critical plaque and long segment myocardial bridging by coronary angiography. We want to share with this case, non-critical plaque together with myocardial bridging caused stable angina and we aimed to approach to patient with myocardial bridging.

Keywords

Myocardial bridging; coronary angiography; angina, stable.

Ciddi Sistolik Darlığa Yol Açan Uzun Miyokardiyal Köprülenme Olgusu; Yaklaşım Nasıl Olmalı?

Abstract

Miyokardiyal köprülenmede, miyokart içinde seyreden bir koroner arter segmentine bası nedeniyle sistolik kan akımı engellenmektedir. Koroner anjiyografide tespit edilen bu durum genellikle benign kabul edilir. Üç aydır efor anjinası olan 52 yaşındaki erkek hastanın koroner anjiyografisinde kritik olmayan plak ve uzun segment miyokardiyal köprülenme tespit edildi. Sunacağımız yazıda, kritik olmayan plak birlikteliğindeki miyokardiyal köprülenmenin stabil anjina nedeni olduğu olguyu paylaşarak, miyokardiyal köprülenmeli hastalara yaklaşımı gözden geçirmeyi amaçladık.

Keywords

Miyokardiyal köprülenme; koroner anjiyografi; anjina, stabil.
