Endobronchial valve insertion to reduce lung volume in emphysema (HTG457)
Evidence-based recommendations on endobronchial valve insertion to reduce lung volume in emphysema. This involves placing small one-way valves in some airways leading to damaged parts of the lungs.
Processed nerve allografts to repair peripheral nerve discontinuities (HTG454)
Evidence-based recommendations on processed nerve allografts to repair peripheral nerve discontinuities. This involves using a specially treated nerve (an allograft) taken from a human donor after death to bridge the gap in the nerve.
Extracranial to intracranial bypass for intracranial atherosclerosis (HTG452)
Evidence-based recommendations on extracranial to intracranial bypass for intracranial atherosclerosis. This involves joining a blood vessel from outside the skull to one inside the skull to bypass a narrowed or partially blocked vessel.
Total distal radioulnar joint replacement for symptomatic joint instability or arthritis (HTG451)
Evidence-based recommendations on total distal radioulnar joint replacement for symptomatic joint instability or arthritis in adults. This involves removing the wrist end of the ulna and replacing it with a metal prosthesis that also attaches to the wrist end of the radius.
Evidence-based recommendations on intramuscular diaphragm stimulation for ventilator-dependent chronic respiratory failure in people with motor neurone disease. This involves implanting electrodes into the diaphragm to make it contract. This gradually strengthens the diaphragm and may eventually help the person to breathe without a ventilator.
Evidence-based recommendations on balloon angioplasty with or without stenting for coarctation or recoarctation of the aorta in adults and children. This involves gently inflating a balloon in the narrow area of the aorta to widen it so blood can flow more easily.
