title: [Thrombosis within the area of muscle bridge as a cause of myocardial infarction].
abstract: Muscle bridge with concomitant sclerotic lesions may cause myocardial infarction (MI). We present a case of 70 year-old woman, who suffered from MI due to sclerotic lesion located within the anterior descending artery, right above the muscle bridge. Implanting two drug eluting stents resulted in restoration of proper flow through the vessel, widening the sclerotic lesion and the area of muscle bridge.
