Myocardial Bridging With Partial Encasement by CTA Missed by Angiography Typical apical ballooning is demonstrated at left ventriculography (A). Coronary angiography showing normal lumen of the LAD during end-systolic phase in the absence of dynamic compression (arrow) (B). Computed tomography angiography (CTA) showing the myocardial bridging (arrow) with partial encasement in multiplanar reformats, longitudinal view (C) and short-axis view (arrow) (D). Of note the typical deviation and straightening of the mid left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) by CTA longitudinal view.
