Myocardial Bridging Release
Surgical release can be considered when there is recurrent chest pain related to myocardial bridge, exercise-induced ischemia, or anatomically deep and long compressed segments, and the effect of drug treatment is not satisfactory. The decision is based on the severity of symptoms, imaging and hemod

How Myocardial Bridging Release is performed
This procedure is mostly used for myocardial bridges where symptoms are related to evidence of ischemia, and imaging assessment clearly defines the compressed segment and depth. Usually, it is performed under general anesthesia through thoracotomy or a small incision. The covering myocardium and fibrous tissue are carefully removed along the coronary artery. If necessary, it can be completed under on-pump or off-pump conditions, and intraoperative ultrasound or angiography is used to confirm the decompression effect. Postoperative focus is on monitoring myocardial perfusion, heart rhythm, and bleeding. The goal is to relieve compression and improve blood flow. The above is general health information, not medical advice; the specific plan is subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocol.

Recovery process
Step 1
Recovery and stay
Combining preoperative evaluation, hospitalization and postoperative follow-up, it is generally recommended to stay in China for about 2–4 weeks, depending on the actual schedule and recovery rhythm.
