    Coronary heavy calcification (HC) poses a sturdy challenge to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Scores considering calcification length, thickness, or circumferential extent, are widely accepted to dictate upfront calcium modification to improve PCI outcomes. Although often marginalized, calcification shape (morphology) may require consideration during procedure planning in selected cases. This case demonstrates how a focal but spur-shaped calcification led to a massive proximal left anterior descending (LAD) dissecting intramural hematoma.
