We present Stanford’s experience with patients post–arterial switch operation presenting with chest pain found to have hemodynamically significant myocardial bridging. The evaluation of symptomatic patients post–arterial switch should not only include assessment for coronary ostial patency but also for nonobstructive coronary conditions such as myocardial bridging. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)
