not be detected with the latter method. In turn,
the hemodynamic signicance of MBs depends
upon several factors, including the length of the
bridged segment, the thickness of the myocardium overlying the tunneled artery, the nature
and characteristics of the tissue surrounding the
vessel, the orientation between myocardial bers
and the coronary artery, the presence of a coronary stenosis proximal to the MB, and observer
experience [14].
Anatomy
The left anterior descending (LAD) artery is the
most common coronary artery affected by MBs,
although bridging can be found less frequently in
the other major epicardial coronary arteries.
Eventually, diagonal and marginal branches may
be involved in 18% and 40% of cases, respectively [1, 15].
LAD-MBs may signicantly vary in depth
(1–10 mm) and length of encasement (10–
30 mm) [16]. These characteristics, along with
the degree of systolic diameter reduction and secondary branches involvement, are key elements
for the evaluation of the hemodynamic signicance of MBs.Ferreira etal. proposed a classication of LAD-MBs into two subtypes, according
to the depth of embedment of the coronary artery:
a more common supercial bridge (75% of
cases), in which the myocardial bers cross the
artery transversely towards the apex of the heart
at an acute angle or perpendicularly; and a deep
variant (25% of cases), in which the LAD deviates towards the right ventricle and deepens into
the interventricular septum, where it is crossed
transversely, obliquely or helically by a muscle
bundle arising from the apex of the right ventricle
[17]. While the supercial variant rarely results
in systolic compression of the artery, the deep
variant is supposed to cause myocardial ischemia
due to the distortion and twisting of the bridged
segment induced by the overlying muscle bundle,
resulting in impaired coronary blood ow.
Pathophysiology
The physiology of MBs is substantially different
both from that of xed defects and from the
dynamic phenomenon of coronary vasospasm.
Therefore, in the last decades, numerous studies
have been carried out to understand the mechanism by which the presence of a MB can cause
myocardial ischemia.
It is known that myocardial perfusion occurs
mainly during the diastolic phase of the cardiac
cycle. How the presence of a MB should impair
diastolic coronary blood ow, since extravascular
compression of the tunneled artery occurs during
systole? It has been shown that the systolic narrowing of the bridged segment can extend into
the early diastolic phase, resulting in the socalled “spillover” phenomenon [18]. In general,
the more severe the systolic compression, the
more likely the luminal area will be compromised in the early and even mid-diastole, where a
persistent reduction of 34–51% in the bridged
segment has been observed [19]. This phenomenon is further exacerbated by an increased heart
rate, which causes a reduction of the diastolic
perfusion time and an increase in epicardial coronary vasoconstriction and contraction of the MB
[20, 21]. The resulting reduction in diastolic coronary blood ow may cause subendocardial ischemia downstream of severe arterial bridge
compression, as the shortened diastolic perfusion
time may exacerbate the normal time delay in
early diastolic subendocardial hyperemia compared to the subepicardial layers. More often,
MBs can trigger septal ischemia by the “branch
steal” mechanism, whereby increased ow velocity in the compressed artery results in depressurization of septal branches within the MB [22].
MBs are thought to be protective against the
formation of atherosclerotic plaques within the
bridged segment. As a matter of fact, it has been
postulated that the characteristics of the intima of
the tunneled segment, which contains a predominance of the contractile subtype of smooth muscle cells, the separation of the bridged segment
from epicardial perivascular adipose tissue and

the absence of foam cells may play a role in this
anti-atherosclerotic effect [23–25]. On the other
hand, MBs are associated with up to 90%
increased atherogenesis at the vessel segment
proximal to the bridge [26]. This could be
explained by the fact that systolic compression of
the tunneled artery results in retrograde ow in
the segment proximal to MB entrance, causing
disturbance in systolic wall shear stress that has
been linked to coronary plaques formation at this
site [27, 28]. In addition, the altered hemodynamic pattern at the level of the MB has also been
associated with other potential complications,
including plaque vulnerability/thrombosis [27],
increase in vasospasticity [29], and intimal injury
possibly leading to dissection [30].
Clinical Presentation
Most MBs are clinically silent and usually represent an incidental nding on angiography, CCT,
or autopsy. Patients with MB may present with
stable symptomatic or silent myocardial ischemia, as well as with acute coronary syndromes.
Other reported clinical presentations are coronary spasm, myocardial stunning, transient ventricular dysfunction, stress cardiomyopathy,
syncope, exercise-induced dysrhythmias like
supraventricular tachycardia, atrioventricular
conduction block, and life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias possibly leading to sudden death
[1–5, 10, 31, 32]. Previously silent MBs may
become symptomatic over time.
Pathophysiological factors that may reveal or
exacerbate symptoms are age, heart rate, left ventricular hypertrophy, and coronary atherosclerosis [33].
Diagnosis
Morphological Assessment
CCT is a prime important, non-invasive tool in
the diagnosis of MBs, being reported superior to
coronary angiography in terms of detection rates
[1]. CCT provides three-dimensional images
with high spatial and contrast resolution, allowing identication of morphological features of
MBs, including the length and the degree of
encasement of the bridged artery, as well as the
length and thickness of the MB over the tunneled
segment [34, 35] (Fig. 4.1). The technique also
allows the classication of the vessel intramyocardial course in supercial or deep. Recently,
the use of new post-processing algorithms for the
derivation of functional information from the
anatomic assessment provided by CCT, such as
transluminal attenuation gradient and CCT-based
fractional ow reserve (FFR), has brought
encouraging, albeit initial, results [36–39].
as a systolic compression, or milking, of the tunneled artery, that reverses during diastole. A systolic narrowing is dened as a ≥50% systolic
diameter stenosis not present or less evident during diastole, and can be enhanced by intracoronary administration of nitroglycerine [40, 41]. To
note, the severity of systolic compression at angiography does not always correlate with the functional relevance of MBs [42]. In addition to
coronary milking, a MB can be suspected when a
characteristic “step-down” and “step-up” morphology, also known as the “U” sign, of the intramural course of the LAD is observed [40].
Several angiographic views, including the lateral
projection, are usually obtained to better visualize and characterize the vessel course (Fig.4.2)
(Videos 4.1 and 4.2).
thickness, and location of the MB, IVUS assessment can be an adjunctive valuable tool to
increase the detection rate of this coronary
anomaly. Imaging with IVUS may display the
reduced vessel area within the MB segment, the
loss of the circular morphology of the artery
under the compression of the bridge, as well as
the characteristic, hypoechogenic “half-moon”
sign over the bridged segment [43] (Fig. 4.3)
(Video 4.3). Although the etiology of this last
phenomenon is still a matter of debate, it appears
to be highly specic as it can only be found in
the bridged segment and not in adjacent reference segments or other coronary arteries [26].
Lastly, IVUS examination can provide useful

involves the middle third of the vessel and shows overly-
information on the presence, severity, and distribution of subangiographic atherosclerosis [43],
in order to guide treatment (e.g. appropriate stent
selection and placement). Other intravascular
imaging techniques, such as optical coherence
tomography (OCT), may theoretically improve
the characterization of the vessel wall within the
bridged segment, but existing evidence is still
scarce [44, 45].
Functional Assessment
An appropriate diagnostic workup of MBs should
include the hemodynamic assessment of the
bridged coronary artery. As previously mentioned, physiology of MBs is rather different to
that of xed lesions. Because the dynamic stenoses in the context of MBs are dependent on extravascular compression and intramyocardial
tension, their functional assessment should not

as deep. LAD left anterior descending artery. MB myocardial bridge

include chronotropic and inotropic stimulation.
Also, during systole, the vascular compression
causes distal pressure overshooting due to milking of blood against a highly restrictive circulation. This translates into higher intracoronary
over aortic pressures distal to the MB, or, in other
words, in negative pressure systolic gradients
across the MB [46] (Fig. 4.4). Distal pressure
overshooting and systolic pressure gradient
inversion may lead to an underestimation of the
functional impact of the MB when assessed with
conventional FFR, this being an average of systolic and diastolic gradients. In view of these considerations, the use of diastolic-FFR during
dobutamine challenge or after intracoronary adenosine administration has been shown to be a better alternative approach to test MB functional
signicance [42]. However, the acquisition of
diastolic rather than mean FFR is complex and
more vulnerable to measurement errors, and

therefore is not routinely performed in most cardiac laboratories [47].
More recently, the introduction of a lesionspecic, non-hyperemic diastolic index, the
instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR®, Volcano
corporation, San Diego, Ca, USA), has shed
new light on functional assessment of MBs.

providing information on the ischemic contribution of the MB [48]. iFR has been shown to have
greater correlation to patients’ symptoms or
presence of myocardial ischemia than FFR.In a
series of 20 patients with angina, no signicant
coronary artery disease (CAD), silent ischemia
conrmed by non-invasive stress test, and angiographic or CCT evidence of MB, iFR at rest
was abnormal in 65% of cases (with a clear

tion, after inotropic stimulus by intravenous
dobutamine infusion, iFR dropped in all cases,
while conventional FFR did not signicantly
change. The discrepancy between FFR and iFR
correlated with the reduction or negativization
of the systolic pressure gradient both at rest and
after dobutamine challenge, further supporting
the hypothesis that systolic pressure gradient
inversion observed in signicant MBs can
invariably affect FFR measurements [49]. A
typical clinical example of LAD-MB functional
evaluation is shown in Fig.4.5.

The use of Doppler-tipped guidewires to
assess intracoronary ow velocity and coronary
ow reserve is by far a less diffuse tool to evaluate MB functional signicance. The analysis of
ow velocity in vessels with MB revealed a systolic ow reversal proximal to the bridged segment and a characteristic “spike and dome”
pattern or “ngertip phenomenon”, due to abrupt
early diastolic ow acceleration, rapid middiastolic ow deceleration and mid to late diastolic plateau [26, 50]. An impaired coronary
ow reserve has been observed when measured
distal to the MB [19].
Among functional non-invasive imaging tests,
stress echocardiography, stress cardiac magnetic
resonance, single-photon emission-computed
tomography and positron emission tomography
are the most widely used [51]. As already mentioned, transluminal attenuation gradient and
CCT-derived FFR are emerging as new postprocessing techniques to derive functional information from CCT [36–39].
Treatment
Medical Therapy
The treatment of MBs should be reserved only
for patients with symptoms and/or objective
signs of ischemia, and should focus on relieving
potential triggers and hemodynamic disturbances
that aggravate the MB, such as hypertension/
hypertrophy, increased heart rate, reduced diastolic coronary lling period, and inappropriate
compression of the artery. Although evidence is
limited, symptomatic patients seem to respond
well to pharmacological treatment with betablockers or non-dihydropyridine calciumchannel blockers (CCB), which are therefore
considered as rst-line therapy [52–54]. By
reducing heart rate and myocardial contractility,
beta-blockers have been shown to restore baseline pressure tracings in patients with signicant
overshooting induced by inotropic challenge,
providing evidence of treatment efcacy [42, 49,
52]. Given the similar hemodynamic effect of
beta-blockers and the additional benet in reduc-
ing concomitant vasospasm, CCB can be used as
an alternative to beta-blockers when they are not
tolerated or contraindicated [54]. Pure vasodilators, such as nitrates, are contraindicated in
patients with functional signicant MBs, as they
may exacerbate symptoms by augmentation of
the systolic narrowing and increase in vessel wall
compliance [41]. Ivabradine, which acts by slowing the heart rate and thereby prolonging the diastolic period, may be considered as a second-line
therapy for patients who cannot tolerate betablockers or CCB, or in combination with lower
doses of these drugs [10]. Patients with concomitant atherosclerotic disease may benet from
aggressive risk factor modication and treatment
with antiplatelet and statin therapy.
Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
No randomized studies between optimal medical
treatment and medical therapy plus percutaneous
coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with MB
have been reported so far. Nevertheless, percutaneous stent implantation may be considered in
selected patients refractory to maximal medical
therapy. Although some initial experiences had
shown an improvement in hemodynamic abnormalities and symptoms [50, 55], further studies
have raised concerns by reporting higher rates of
target lesion revascularization after PCI of the
bridged segments [56]. In addition, stent implantation in MBs has been associated with higher
rates of complications, including coronary perforation [57], stent fracture [58, 59], in-stent restenosis [56], and stent thrombosis [60]. An elegant
study using IVUS reported increased rates of late
events after stenting of the LAD when the stent
extended unintentionally into the MB, compared
to patients who underwent stent implantation
only in the epicardial obstructive lesion [61].
Given these unfavorable outcomes, revascularization using drug-eluting stents should be considered only for severely symptomatic patients
who are refractory to optimal medical therapy
and who are not amenable for surgery.
Bioresorbable scaffolds, when implanted in MBs,
have recently been shown to be superior to

53
everolimus- eluting stents in terms of angiographic late loss and tissue proliferation, suggesting a potential benet of vascular restoration in
this setting [62].
Surgery
Surgical options for MBs include supra-arterial
myotomy (i.e. surgical unroong of the bridged
LAD) and coronary artery bypass grafting
(CABG). Isolated supra-arterial myotomy can be
performed in the absence of severe atherosclerotic disease, and involves dissection of the myocardial bers overlying the bridged segment with
complete exposure of the coronary artery [63–
65]. This procedure is not without risk, and may
result in wall perforation, ventricular aneurism
formation, and post-operative bleeding [64]. In
this regard, intraoperative high-frequency epicardial echocardiography may help to identify the
course of the vessel thereby reducing the risk of
complications [66]. CABG has been shown to be
superior to myotomy in cases of extensive
(>25mm) or deep (>5mm) MBs, and might be a
better option for patients with signicant atherosclerotic disease proximal to the MB [67, 68].
However, graft failure rates have been reported to
be high due to potential competitive ow [69].
Surgical treatment should be considered for
patients with persistent symptoms despite optimal medical therapy and with proven inducible
ischemia, especially for those who have experienced myocardial infarction, life-threatening
arrhythmias, and resuscitated cardiac arrest. A
recent meta-analysis of 18 studies comparing different therapeutic strategies for patients with MB
showed that, among invasively treated patients,
surgery was superior to percutaneous treatment
in terms of symptoms relief and major cardiovascular events related to target vessel revascularization [70].
