Although early diagnosis and timely revascularization are critical, clinical practice remains highly variable. This study aimed to evaluate the real-world management of AMI in Spain, identifying gaps in resources, protocols, and interhospital coordination.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A national cross-sectional survey was conducted between March and August 2024 using the Survio\n                      <jats:sup>\u00ae<\/jats:sup>\n                      platform.

The median age was 40 years (IQR: 17). Most were consultants (76.3%) working in tertiary (42.6%), secondary (33%), or community hospitals (24.4%). While 97.6% reported access to 24\/7 multiphasic CT and 90.4% to round-the-clock radiology, only 51.9% had 24\/7 interventional radiology and 60.1% vascular surgery. Just 26.8% had institutional AMI protocols. The median distance to a referral center was 25\u00a0km (range: 2\u2013250\u00a0km), and 68.4% reported difficulty in patient transfers. While 96.9% felt competent managing AMI, only 36.4% were familiar with the term \u201cintestinal stroke.\u201d A total of 76.3% expressed interest in joining a national AMI registry.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Spanish surgeons report high self-perceived clinical competence in AMI management, but systemic fragmentation, lack of protocols, and logistical barriers limit optimal care.
