【 摘 要 】

The purpose of this survey was to determine the current trends in endovascular practice by Interventional Radiologists (IR’s) across Europe and to understand the engagement by Interventional Radiology (IR) with clinical practice. CIRSE European members were invited to participate in an online survey between July 11th, 2016 and August 8th, 2016. A 54 question survey was created to capture a comprehensive overview of IR endovascular practice and clinical engagement. Four hundred and five valid responses were received (9.9%) from a broad geographic distribution from across Europe. 76% of IR’s practised in centres with more than 400 beds as 60% worked in an academic or university teaching hospital. 36% dedicated 80–100% of their time to IR and 59% dedicated at least 60% of their time to IR. 24/7 IR on-call was available in the hospitals of 73% or respondents. 78% had dedicated IR nursing staff and 67% had nursing support on-call, 55% had inpatient admission privileges and 27% had dedicated IR inpatient beds. 65% of IR’s had admitting rights to day-case beds. 42% ran IR outpatient clinics and 36% performed ward rounds. 81% of respondents performed peripheral arterial disease (PAD) intervention and IR was the main provider of PAD intervention in 67% of centres. Vascular Surgery or Medicine were the main referrers (71%) to IR for PAD intervention. 37% of centres had a hybrid operating theatre and 80% of IR’s had access to this. IR remains a substantial player in the field of PAD Intervention. The continued evolution of outpatient clinics and clinical practice is key to retention and future expansion in the field of endovascular therapy for PAD.
