Coronary Ectasia, Coronary Muscular Bridge and Severe Mitral Stenosis

Abstract

Coronary artery ectasia (CAE) is defined as the dilatation of a segment of a coronary artery at least 1.5 times the adjacent segment. Coronary arteries and their major branches are usually located subepicardially. Some individuals, however, have regions in which a bunch of cardiac muscle fiber over those vessels like a bridge. This structure, called myocardial or coronary arterial bridge. Although rheumatic fever (RF) and its consequences were the major cause of valvuler heart disease in the developing countries, this disease has become exceedingly rare today. Once more than mild symptoms exist or once asymptomatic pulmonary hypertension occurs, mechanical relief of mitral stenosis in indicated. We want to present a patient who has had this three clinical situations together.
