Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for Risk Prediction of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Growth and Rupture.

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are emerging tools in the management of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). They have offered new tools to develop advanced imaging analysis and prediction models. This narrative review summarizes studies exploring AI/ML models to evaluate the risk of AAA growth and rupture. We provide an overview and critical analysis on methodology used, identify current limits and propose future directions for research and implementation in surgical practice.
