Accuracy of fully automated iliac artery tortuosity measurements in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm using deep learning

Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) has emerged as the preferred treatment option for patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms, offering reduced perioperative morbidity and mortality compared with open surgical repair [1,2]. However, the technical success and long-term clinical outcomes of EVAR are affected by multiple anatomical factors, one of which is tortuosity of the common and external iliac arteries [3,4]. Excessive iliac tortuosity can complicate catheter navigation, increase procedural …
