Abstract (EN): <jats:sec><jats:title>Purpose:</jats:title><jats:p> The aim of this project is to explore practice patterns of experienced vascular specialists involved in the treatment of patients with arterial femoro-popliteal in-stent occlusion (ISO) and to understand key concepts and shared thoughts, throughout an international cross-sectional survey. </jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Materials and Methods:</jats:title><jats:p> The web-based survey was in English and included 31 questions. One-hundred experts were invited by email to fill in the survey anonymously on Google Forms using a dedicated link. Reminders were sent after the first 2 weeks. In addition to reporting of pooled responses, subanalyses of answers were also performed, according to country of origin (European vs non-European), years of experience (¿20 years vs >20 years), and type of institution (Academic/University vs Non-academic/Private). </jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results:</jats:title><jats:p> A total of 77 physicians from 22 countries completed the survey. Most responders were males (70/77, 91%). Most of the participants were vascular surgeons (58/77, 75%). Endovascular therapy was the preferred option in patients presenting with either acute limb ischemia, disabling intermittent claudication, or chronic limb-threatening ischemia. Atherectomy/thrombectomy+Drug-Coated Balloon (DCB) was the preferred endovascular modality (32/77, 42%). No differences between country of origin, years of experience, and type of institution of the participants were found. </jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions:</jats:title><jats:p> The international SUrvey oN TReatment Of Occluded Femoro-Popliteal Stent (SUNROOF) survey has suggested that endovascular therapy is the preferred method for the treatment of femoro-popliteal ISO. This survey could represent a good starting point for future research on comparison between open and endovascular approach and different devices, which currently lacks good-level scientific evidence and appropriate guidelines. </jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Clinical Impact</jats:title><jats:p> 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. </jats:p></jats:sec>
