Impact of Myocardial Bridges on Long-Term Outcomes After Left Anterior Descending Chronic Total Occlusion Recanalization

The authors aimed to investigate the long-term prognostic impact of myocardial bridges (MBs) on patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention for left anterior descending coronary artery chronic total occlusion. Their findings indicate that while MBs are common post-recanalization, their presence is linked to a higher incidence of major adverse cardiac events, primarily due to stent extension into the bridged segment, rather than the mere presence of MBs themselves.
