The use of antiplatelet and antithrombotic agents after peripheral vascular interventions is a common clinical practice despite a lack of clear convincing evidence or accepted practice guidelines. The goal of this study was to assess surgeons' prescribing practices after endovascular procedures for lower extremity arterial occlusive disease. ⋯ The antiplatelet/antithrombotic prescribing practices of vascular surgeons after lower extremity endovascular procedures are highly variable. Multicenter randomized controlled trials are needed to define optimal treatment efficacy and define the much-needed practice guidelines.
