Good luck please keep us posted on this site. I too was diagnosed with a "severe MB" in LAD mid-point. My follow up visit was moved from March to April after being diagnosed at the end of Dec 2022. Stents being put in a MB is a big NO NO. They can dig into the artery and cause it to rupture and/or break due to the constant squeezing action by the heart muscle. Same goes for Nitroglycerin.....should not be given to an MB patient as it could make the condition worse. Not sure how much research you have done but there is an excellent FB support group for this condition called "Myocardial Bridge Support Group" and it has tons of information. The old school thought for MB is it is "Benign". Newer school thought (Examples: Stanford and Cleveland Clinic) is this condition can be serious and cause damage to the heart via ischemia to the vessel and/or heart. I hope Mayo will "fix you" like new again. Keep us posted.
