Future perspectives of artificial intelligence in vascular surgery

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) holds great potential in vascular surgery and healthcare, with various perspectives of applications. Despite these promising developments, the integration of AI into daily vascular surgical critical challenges persist. The aim of this review is to evaluate the future perspectives of AI in vascular surgery, seeking to identify key opportunities and obstacles on the ongoing integration of AI technologies within vascular surgical practice. A scoping literature review was performed to analyze perceptions and feedback on AI by vascular surgeons. Current challenges mainly include technical and ethical concerns. Future opportunities to integrate AI in vascular surgery highlighted the need to improve education and develop international collaboration. While AI offers great potential in vascular surgery, its integration in daily clinical practice requires further efforts and research. Such approach needs to be integrated into an efficient ecosystem, contributing to e-health revolution.
