Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease that causes arterial and neurological disorders. Extremities threatening a diabetic foot ulcer might occur in the long term, especially in irregular glycemia levels. A multidisciplinary approach including infection treatment, pressure relief in the wound and arterial revascularization is important for limb salvage and to prevent such life-threatening complications as septicemia. Compared to the surgery, endovascular procedures can be performed with low complication rates in diabetic foot ulcers complicated with infection. Atherectomy is an alternative to the classical percutaneous angioplasty techniques, especially in totally occluded lesions. We are reporting complete healing of osteomyelitis associated with critical limb ischemia, resistant to classical treatment with debridement, antibacterial therapy and hyperbaric oxygen therapy, by atherectomy following long-segment flexible stent implantation.
