Sumario:Rotablation (rotational atherectomy) is an acknowledged method of percutaneous treatment of highly calcified coronary artery lesions that cannot be treated with traditional angioplasty.

We present a case of percutaneous retrieval of a damaged rotational atherectomy burr in a 74-year-old male patient.
