AI analysis of pre- and post-EVAR CT detects endoleaks with AUC 0.85 at external validation

European journal of vascular and endovascular surgery : the official journal of the European Society for Vascular Surgery2d ago

An AI pipeline automatically analysed pre- and post-EVAR CTAs in 372 patients, segmenting anatomy with Dice >0.9, detecting endoleaks with AUC 0.85 on external validation, and measuring AAA diameter within 2 mm error (R≥0.97), matching interobserver variability.

  • Endoleak detection achieved AUC 0.87 (internal) and 0.85 (external).
  • AI-derived maximum AAA diameters correlated strongly with manual measurements (all R ≥ 0.97; ICC ≥ 0.97), with median error ≤ 2 mm.
  • Disagreement in AAA diameter change over time was lower than interobserver variability.
