Myocardial bridge over the right coronary artery in man.
A rare case of myocardial bridge over the trunk of the right coronary a. is described in the heart of a male, adult, Caucasian, Brazilian, whose death occurred after an automobile accident. After a review of the literature, the unusual finding is described and illustrated. Other bridges on the beginning of the right marginal a.; the right anterior ventricular a.; and on the anterior interventricular a. (left anterior descending) a. were observed. The location and significance of myocardial bridges over coronary a. are discussed.
