Abstract

The authors report the case of a symptomatic myocardial bridge treated in the acute phase of anterior wall myocardial infarction by classical stenting of the mid and distal left anterior descending artery. One and a half months later, intrastent restenosis at the two dilated sites, led to another angioplasty procedure with implantation of sirolimus-eluding stents. The outcome was good with no recurrence of angina at 16 months and control coronary angiography was totally normal at the 8th month.
