Department of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery and Dept of General Surgery Örebro University Hospital (USÖ) and Örebro University, Sweden
Founder of the EndoVascular resuscitation and Trauma Management (EVTM) concept, Secretary EVTM Society. Editor In Chief of the Journal of EndoVascular resuscitation and Trauma Management (JEVTM).
Prof. Hörer is a clinical expert in endovascular resuscitation, Vascular open and endovascular surgery, trauma surgery and vascular innovations, with extensive clinical and research experience in hybrid operating techniques, complexed vascular surgery and endovascular bleeding care. His is highly interested in hemodynamic instability. He has authored numerous peer-reviewed publications, books, book chapters, and international guidelines in vascular and trauma surgery.
David T. McGreevy MD, PhD
Consultant Vascular and Endovascular Surgeon
Department of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery Örebro University Hospital (USÖ), Sweden
Co-founder of the EVTM Society and Senior Editor of the Journal of EndoVascular resuscitation and Trauma Management (JEVTM).
Dr. McGreevy's clinical and academic work focuses on advanced endovascular techniques, trauma and bleeding management, and translational innovation. He is actively engaged in education, Vascular and Trauma guideline development, and implementation of AI-assisted learning in vascular and trauma surgery. He is a clinically active expert in Vascular, endovascular surgery and hybrid bleeding control. One of his main research focuses on ruptured and re-ruptured aortic care.
Declaration
The editors, Tal M. Hörer and David T. McGreevy, take full academic responsibility for the overall concept, design, and editorial supervision of The Artificial Intelligence Textbook of Vascular Surgery. All efforts have been made to ensure that the information presented is accurate, up-to-date, and based only on verified scientific sources such as PubMed, ESVS/SVS guidelines, and Rutherford's Textbook of Vascular Surgery.
However, the editors and contributors accept no legal or clinical responsibility for any errors, misinterpretations, or outcomes resulting from the use or misuse of this material.
This textbook is intended solely for educational and research purposes and should not replace clinical judgment, institutional protocols, or current medical guidelines. It should be regarded as a pilot educational project.
All AI-generated content has been reviewed and curated by human experts, but users must independently verify all information before applying it in clinical settings. As it changes continuously, human control of all details is not possible and the editors take NO responsibility for any errors in the text. All data in this textbook should be verified by peer review journals data and recognized textbooks.
The editors act and are responsible under the laws and regulations of Sweden and the European Union (EU) regarding publication ethics, data protection, and academic integrity.
Any legal matters related to this work shall be governed by Swedish and EU law.
The work done in this project was not sponsored by any institute or industry. The authors declare no conflict of interest. The work is done under strict research project of the EVTM (EndoVascular and Trauma Management) project development and was built by ChatGPT ver5.
What is this project and why?
As AI takes more place in data gathering and analysis, and inspired by the power of these tools, we decided to develop the first online AI textbook within medicine. We were inspired by the "Harry Potter" books and imagine how a real LIVING book would look like in the future - with diagrams, data, references being updated as they are published. This might be a revolution in medical data knowing that general textbooks are dated around 3-5 years back due to the human editing and writing process.
So, imagine you want to read on current knowledge on ruptured abdominal aneurysm (rAAA) and can get real updated information, by medical sources peer review and guidelines only, dated... well, as for today or a month ago. You can find information just published that can make you a better clinician and doctor. Is it a dream? Future issue? Not really. Here is the first pilot form of the Artificial Intelligence Textbook of Vascular Surgery!
It will take some time to get it done (and maybe never done), but as we always say in the EVTM movement: "We stand on the shoulders of giants!"
