Abstract

Myocardial bridging and single coronary artery (SCA) may both lead to myocardial ischemia and related secondary complications. We present multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) and catheter coronary angiography (CCA) findings of R-I subtype SCA, which is a distinctively rare congenital coronary anomaly, and accompanying incomplete myocardial bridging in a case with dyspnea and chest burning. In addition, CCA showed a thin milking effect at the tunneled artery.
