Evidence-based recommendations on subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator insertion for preventing sudden cardiac death. This involves placing a device under the skin of the chest, which detects and treats fast heartbeats called tachyarrhythmias.
Balloon angioplasty of pulmonary vein stenosis in infants (HTG46)
Evidence-based recommendations on balloon angioplasty of pulmonary vein stenosis in infants. This involves involves inflating a balloon in the narrow section of the pulmonary vein to widen the area so blood can flow through more easily.

Evidence-based recommendations on artificial heart implantation as a bridge to transplantation for end-stage refractory biventricular heart failure. This involves replacing the 2 lower chambers of the heart with a mechanical device to improve circulation until heart transplantation.
Transcutaneous microwave ablation for severe primary axillary hyperhidrosis (HTG458)
Evidence-based recommendations on transcutaneous microwave ablation for severe primary axillary hyperhidrosis in adults. This involves using microwaves to destroy sweat glands in the armpit.
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.
Transvaginal mesh repair of anterior or posterior vaginal wall prolapse (HTG456)
Evidence-based recommendations on transvaginal mesh repair of anterior or posterior vaginal wall prolapse. This involves inserting a mesh to replace tissue that has weakened and caused the pelvic organs to drop down (prolapse) into the vagina.
Hypoglossal nerve stimulation for moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnoea (HTG455)
Evidence-based recommendations on hypoglossal nerve stimulation for moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnoea in adults. This involves implanting a device under the skin in the chest and connecting it to a nerve under the tongue (hypoglossal nerve).
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.

High-intensity focused ultrasound for symptomatic breast fibroadenoma (HTG449)
Evidence-based recommendations on high-intensity focused ultrasound for symptomatic breast fibroadenoma in adults. This involves using high-frequency sound waves to heat up the tissues in the lump.
Evidence-based recommendations on holmium laser prostatectomy. This involves using heat from a laser to break down the extra tissue in the prostate.
