Coexistence of Coronary Artery Ectasia and Myocardial Bridging: A Case Report

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: : Ectasia is the term used to describe the dilation of a coronary artery when its diameter is 1.5 times that of a normal artery. Myocardial bridge (MB) is a congenital coronary abnormality where a coronary artery segment tunnels across myocardial tissue, with coronary angiography (CAG) is the gold standard method for diagnosis. Here, we describe a case of an Afghan man who had both coronary artery ectasia and MB in the same segment of his left anterior descending artery (LAD). Keywords: coronary artery ectasia, myocardial bridge, coronary angiography, case report
