Abstract: One of the main therapeutic options for the treatment of peripheral arterial disease is endovascular treatment, which has proven to be an effective and less invasive alternative to open surgery. This approach offers several advantages, such as faster recovery and a shorter hospital stay. However, it can also lead to complications, including restenosis and in-stent occlusion, which can compromise the effectiveness of the procedure and have a negative impact on patients' quality of life. Faced with this problem, innovative solutions have emerged, such as rotational atherectomy with the BYCROSS® device, which has positioned itself as a promising tool for the treatment of complex arterial lesions and in-stent thrombosis. This device allows controlled removal of obstructive material, optimizes blood flow and improves short- and long-term outcomes. In this case report, we present a patient with a history of peripheral arterial disease who developed in-stent thrombosis, a common but difficult complication associated with previous endovascular treatments. The patient was successfully treated with rotational atherectomy using the BYCROSS® device, achieving excellent angiographic and clinical results. Subsequently, a significant improvement in symptoms and quality of life was observed. This case highlights the importance of innovative technologies in current clinical practice and the need for a comprehensive and personalized approach in the treatment of vascular complications in patients with peripheral arterial disease.
