Myocardial bridging causes myocardial ischemia during supraventricular
tachycardia. We present a case of Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome combined
with myocardial bridging. The patient complained of angina pectoris during
paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia because of severe constriction of
the left anterior descending coronary artery during systole. A myocardial
scintigram revealed myocardial ischemia in the anteroseptal wall during
paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia. Myotomy to prevent myocardial
bridging and interruption of the accessory conduction pathway was
successfully accomplished in a one- stage operation.
