Abstract
BACKGROUND
Coronary artery aneurysm combined with myocardial bridge is a very rare clinical situation. The prognosis of this clinical situation is not yet clear.
CASE SUMMARY
A coronary artery aneurysm and myocardial bridge in the same segment of the coronary artery were found in a 54-year-old female patient who underwent coronary angiography and intravascular ultrasound examination. Through conservative treatment, the patient was discharged from the hospital smoothly, and she was in good condition during 5 mo of follow-up.
CONCLUSION
Coronary artery aneurysm combined with myocardial bridge seems to have a good prognosis, but due to the rarity of this clinical situation, further research and follow-up are needed.
Core Tip: We found a rare condition, in which a coronary artery aneurysm and myocardial bridge co-occurred in the same segment of the coronary artery, by coronary angiography and intravascular ultrasound examination. The prognosis of this clinical situation seems to be good, but due to its rarity, further research and follow-up are needed.
