Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) has been applied in many fields, including science, technology, and medicine. However, vascular surgeons face many obstacles and limitations in using and applying AI because of their limited understanding of computer science, programming languages, and complex AI technologies, such as machine learning, deep learning, and artificial neural networks. This article describes the basic knowledge of AI, applications of AI technologies in vascular surgery, and the use of smart wearable devices. Finally, the challenges and limitations of AI are discussed as essential issues hindering its widespread application in vascular surgery.
