Introduction: Directional atherectomy is a minimally invasive technique that can be used to avoid lower limb amputation due to critical ischemia. Case report: This is the first experience in Ecuador, using this technique in a diabetic patient with chronic renal failure. The procedure achieved successful recanalization of the left femoropopliteal artery. Discusion: Directional atherectomy seems to be an alternative to avoid limb amputation in patients with critical ischemia and several comorbidities.
