Article Synopsis
- Intravascular ultrasound studies reveal that about 25% of the left anterior descending (LAD) arteries have a myocardial bridge, which can affect stent performance.
- This study aimed to explore the relationship between myocardial bridges and chronic total occlusions (CTOs) in LAD lesions, as well as their impact on clinical outcomes after treatment.
- Results indicated that myocardial bridges were more frequent in LAD CTOs, and stents that extended into these bridges were linked to higher rates of target lesion failure compared to stents not extending into them.
