Myocardial Bridge of Coronary Artery
Conditions
Keywords
myocardial bridge, radial access coronary angiography
Brief summary
Although the incidence of myocardial bridge (MB) has been defined in different conventional coronary angiography (CCA) studies,the frequency of MB in radial access coronary angiography (RACA) is unknown.The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of MB in patients undergoing RACA.
Interventions
PROCEDUREradial access coronary angiography
The right radial artery was cannulated with a 6-f radial sheath after local infiltration with 2% lidocaine.All patients received 5000 units of unfractionated heparin, 100 - 200 μg (depending on blood pressure) of nitroglycerin and 5 mg of diltiazem unless there was an absolute contraindication to diltiazem and anticoagulants.Coronary angiography was performed using the standard Judkins' technique via right radial access with a 5-f diagnostic catheter
