Abstract

Myocardial bridging is a normal anatomical variant, generally a benign condition and is a common autopsy finding. It had easily seen in dissected specimens comparing to angiograms. The most frequent myocardial bridges were observed on the left anterior descending coronary, diagonal artery, posterior descending artery. Myocardial bridging observed on the circumflex coronary artery and right coronary artery, but rarely. The bridges also may involve the diagonal branch of the left coronary artery, the posterior interventricular branch of right coronary artery, the left marginal branch and the right marginal branch.
We report a case of very rare myocardial bridging that occurs on the middle third of the posterior cardiac vein, in addition to left anterior descending coronary artery, myocardial bridging.
