We present herein the case of a delayed covered coronary wall rupture occurring as a rare complication of rotational atherectomy performed in the subintimal space after antegrade dissection reentry for percutaneous recanalization of a long and heavily calcified left anterior descending chronic total occlusion, which was successfully managed percutaneously with the implantation of 2 covered stents. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.)
