Excerpt

Systolic compression (SC) of coronary arteries is almost always due to the existence of myocardial bridging. However, it has rarely been described in patients with ventricular aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms [1]. We report the case of a patient with milking-like effect with SC of the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery as a first clue of mechanical complication after myocardial infarction (MI). …
