title: Extremely rare R-I subtype coronary artery anomaly and accompanying incomplete myocardial bridging on the left anterior descending artery in a symptomatic patient: multidetector computed tomography and coronary angiography findings.
abstract: Myocardial bridging and single coronary artery (SCA) may both lead to myocardial ischemia and related secondary complications. We present multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) and catheter coronary angiography (CCA) findings of R-I subtype SCA, which is a distinctively rare congenital coronary anomaly, and accompanying incomplete myocardial bridging in a case with dyspnea and chest burning. In addition, CCA showed a thin milking effect at the tunneled artery.
