What is the full procedure for surgical treatment of myocardial bridges

Myocardial bridge surgical treatment currently consists of myocardial bridge release surgery and coronary artery bypass surgery. Taking coronary artery bypass surgery as an example, it includes preoperative anesthesia, blood vessel sampling, opening the chest and establishing extracorporeal circulation, blood vessel anastomosis, hemostatic suture, and finally dressing and bandaging to end the surgery. 1. Preoperative anesthesia: generally, general compound anesthesia is adopted, while tracheal intubation is used to maintain respiration. 2. Vascular sampling: after the anesthesia takes effect, a professional surgeon will perform vascular sampling at the internal mammary artery, saphenous artery or radial artery of the arm. 3. Chest Opening and Establishment of Extracorporeal Circulation: The chest is opened in the middle of the sternum to expose the heart, and a vein is inserted to establish extracorporeal circulation, which will temporarily stop the heart. 4. Vascular anastomosis: find the target vessel, anastomose the internal mammary artery to the left anterior descending branch, and anastomose the saphenous artery or radial artery of the arm to the right coronary artery. 5. Hemostasis and suture: after anastomosis of blood vessels, hemostasis, chest closure, suture operation, and finally dressing and bandaging, the operation is completed. If the myocardial bridge compression is not serious, the coronary artery bypass grafting surgery may not be considered, and a simple myocardial bridge release surgery can relieve the myocardial bridge compression symptoms by cutting and lifting the myocardial bridge spanning the surface of the coronary arteries. It is advisable to listen to the diagnosis and treatment advice of a specialized doctor for the specific type of surgery to be performed.
