International Cross-Sectional S u rvey O N T R eatment O f O ccluded F emoro-Popliteal Stents (SUNROOF).

The international SUNROOF survey included 31 questions. It was performed by 77 vascular physicians from 22 countries. More than a half of respondents considered an endovascular approach as the preferred treatment modality in acute limb ischemia, disabling intermittent claudication, or chronic limb-threatening ischemia. Most responders agreed they would intensify the follow-up protocol and anti-thrombotic medications regimen after a first in-stent occlusion episode. This survey could represent a good starting point for future research on comparison between open and endovascular approach and different devices, which currently lacks of good level scientific evidence and appropriate guidelines.
