Abstract
Objective Cloud-based, surgical augmented intelligence (Cydar Medical, Cambridge, UK) can be used for surgical planning and intraoperative imaging guidance during complex endovascular aortic procedures. We aim to evaluate radiation exposure, operative safety metrics, and post-operative renal outcomes following implementation of Cydar imaging guidance using a manually matched cohort of aortic procedures. Methods We retrospectively reviewed our prospectively maintained database of endovascular aortic cases. Patients repaired using Cydar imaging were matched to patients who underwent a similar procedure without using Cydar. Matching was performed manually on a 1:1 basis using anatomy, device configuration, number of branches/fenestrations, and adjunctive procedures including in-situ laser fenestration. Radiation, contrast use, and other operative metrics were compared. Pre- and post-operative maximum creatinine was compared to assess for acute kidney injury (AKI) based on RIFLE Criteria. Results 100 patients from 2012-2023 were identified: 50 cases (38 FEVAR, 2 TEVAR, 3 octopus-type TAAA repair, 7 EVAR) where Cydar imaging was used, with suitable matches to 50 non-Cydar cases. Baseline characteristics including BMI did not differ significantly between the two groups (27.8 ± 5.6 vs. 26.7 ± 6.1; P=0.31). Radiation dose was significantly lower in the Cydar group (2529 ± 2256 vs 3676 ± 2976 mGy; P<0.03 Figure 1), despite there being no difference in fluoroscopy time (51 ± 29.4 vs 58 ± 37.2 min; P = 0.37). Contrast volume (94 ± 37.4 vs 93 ± 43.9 mL; P = 0.73), estimated blood loss (169 ± 223 vs 193 ± 222 mL; P = 0.97), and procedure time (154 ± 78 vs 165 ± 89.1 min) did not differ significantly. Additionally, Cydar vs non-Cydar patients did not show a significant difference between pre- and post-creatinine changes (0.13 +/- 0.08 vs 0.05 +/- 0.07; P=0.34). Only one patient in the non-Cydar group met RIFLE criteria for AKI post-operatively. Conclusions The use of cloud-based augmented intelligence imaging was associated with a significant reduction in radiation dose in a cohort of matched aortic procedures but did not appear to affect other parameters or renal function. Even with advanced imaging, surgeons should remain conscientious about radiation safety and administration of nephrotoxic contrast agents.

- Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
- We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
- We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
- The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
- Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
