Endovascular TodayArtificial Intelligence and Acute Pulmonary Embolism

Exploring the specific challenges of PE and how AI, with its machine learning capabilities, offers unique solutions to address these challenges, from diagnosis to treatment and long-term care.

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into the medical field is transforming the approach to acute pulmonary embolism (PE) care. With the ability to streamline systems, optimize efficiency, and enhance diagnostic accuracy, AI is poised to revolutionize the management of this pervasive and life-threatening condition.

Key Points:

• Awareness, Detection, and Diagnosis: AI facilitates the diagnosis of PE by integrating clinical information and utilizing algorithms to assess the probability of PE, making it more accurate and consistent than human detection.
• Rapid Notification and Mobilization of Institutional PERT: AI-powered analysis enables quick identification and notification of the PE response team, reducing time to treatment.
• Risk Stratification: AI can integrate various data to estimate mortality/morbidity risk, leading to better risk stratification tools.
• Determination of Optimal Therapy: AI’s machine learning processes available data to identify the best therapy for individual patients.
• Monitoring Progress During/After Intervention: AI algorithms can recognize patterns in patients with acute PE, assisting in ongoing care and personalized disposition.
• Ascertaining Risk of Long-Term Consequences: AI provides insight into individual likelihoods of developing longer-term consequences like chronic thromboembolic disease.
• Expansion of Evidence Base: AI assimilates and coalesces data to expand the evidence base for PE, resulting in better care standardization.

Additional Points:

• Integration with Mobile Apps: Companies have developed mobile phone apps to work with AI programs, enhancing communication among medical team members.
• Potential for Future Advancements: Machine learning, deep learning, and natural language processing are expected to refine AI algorithms further, enhancing PE care.

Conclusion:

• AI technology, in synergy with the PERT multidisciplinary team-based approach, will significantly change the paradigm of care for PE. The seamless integration provided by AI programs and mobile apps will enable clinicians to provide targeted and individualized care, optimizing resource allocation and improving outcomes.

One recent study demonstrated a reduction in “time to procedure” from 202 to 55 minutes after implementing an acute stroke AI program, highlighting the potential time-saving benefits of AI in PE care.
