Large language models can accurately populate Vascular Quality Initiative procedural databases using narrative operative reports.

Journal of vascular surgery
OBJECTIVE: Participation in the Vascular Quality Initiative (VQI) provides important resources to surgeons, but the ability to do so is often limited by time and data entry personnel. Large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT (OpenAI) are examples...

Predicting high-flow arteriovenous fistulas and cardiac outcomes in hemodialysis patients.

Journal of vascular surgery
BACKGROUND: Heart failure is common in patients receiving hemodialysis. A high-flow arteriovenous fistula (AVF) may represent a modifiable risk factor for heart failure and death. Currently, no tools exist to assess the risk of developing a high-flow...

Successful implementation of a nurse-navigator-run program using natural language processing identifying patients with an abdominal aortic aneurysm.

Journal of vascular surgery
BACKGROUND: Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) are often identified incidentally on imaging studies. Patients and/or providers are frequently unaware of these AAA and the need for long-term follow-up. We sought to evaluate the outcome of a nurse-naviga...

Applications of artificial intelligence for patients with peripheral artery disease.

Journal of vascular surgery
OBJECTIVE: Applications of artificial intelligence (AI) have been reported in several cardiovascular diseases but its interest in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) has been so far less reported. The aim of this review was to summarize cur...

Fully automatic volume segmentation using deep learning approaches to assess aneurysmal sac evolution after infrarenal endovascular aortic repair.

Journal of vascular surgery
OBJECTIVE: Endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) surveillance relies on serial measurements of the maximal diameter despite significant inter- and intraobserver variability. Volumetric measurements are more sensitive; however, their general use has been ...

Machine learning analysis of multispectral imaging and clinical risk factors to predict amputation wound healing.

Journal of vascular surgery
OBJECTIVE: Prediction of amputation wound healing is challenging due to the multifactorial nature of critical limb ischemia and lack of objective assessment tools. Up to one-third of amputations require revision to a more proximal level within 1 year...
