Abstract
In the vast advancement of medical sciences, innovation and new technologies in combating different vascular diseases, vascular surgery acts like a beacon. This paper will give the readers a clear picture on the current innovative approaches such as Artificial Inteligence(AI)/ Machine Learning(ML), Robotic-Assisted vascular surgeries, Drug eluting stents, Bioengineered Vascular Grafts, Endovascular Ablation Therapies and Thoracoabdomimal Aortic Aneurysm Endovascular Repair (TAAER). Artificial Inteligence(AI)/ Machine Learning(ML) in vascular surgeries, which provides better disease prognosis and management, Robotic-Assisted vascular surgeries, which provides 3D visualization, better agility, emotional shock prof though it is costly and safety and efficacy evidences still need to be established, Drug eluting stents along with 3 months antiplatelet therapy is very effective in Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), Bioengineered Vascular Grafts, which shows promising results in connections with total cavopulmonary with nonhypertrophied right atrium case and also diminishes the risk of arrhythmia in early or later stages and lastly the Endovascular Ablation Therapies like Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) shows better results than endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) in interventions of lower extremities venous insufficiency.
Keywords: Artificial Inteligence(AI)/ Machine Learning(ML), Robotic-assisted vascular surgeries , Drug eluting stents, Bioengineered vascular grafts, Endovascular ablation therapies.
