Sumario:Rotational atherectomy (RA) is an endovascular procedure to ablate calcified plaque and is an integral tool for complex percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Rotational atherectomy increases the risk of periprocedural complications. One of the major complications of RA is coronary perforation, which has a reported incidence of up to 2%. It is usually identified and managed within the procedure. Rarely, there are delayed and unanticipated complications that can be missed, causing significant morbidity and mortality. We present a rare case of a patient with a late presentation of cardiac tamponade days after a complex PCI with RA.
