Implanting a baroreceptor stimulation device for resistant hypertension (HTG387)
Evidence-based recommendations on implanting a baroreceptor stimulation device for resistant hypertension. This involves using electrical impulses from the device that stimulate baroreceptors to help the body lower blood pressure.
A new model for evaluating and purchasing antimicrobials in the UK
Overview of NICE and NHS England’s pioneering subscription-style purchasing model for antimicrobials: its pilot with ceftazidime-avibactam and cefiderocol in 2022, expansion in 2024, supporting health technology assessments, downloadable guidance and procurement tools.
This indicator covers the percentage of patients with a new diagnosis of hypertension in the preceding 1 April to 31 March who have a record of a 12-lead ECG performed in the 3 months before or after the date of entry to the hypertension register. It measures outcomes that reflect the quality of care or processes linked by evidence to improved outcomes. This indicator was previously published as NM77

Insertion of an epiretinal prosthesis for retinitis pigmentosa (HTG372)
Evidence-based recommendations on insertion of an epiretinal prosthesis for retinitis pigmentosa. This involves inserting an implant into the eye that receives data from a small camera on the person's glasses and then stimulates healthy cells in the retina to see basic images.
Insertion of endobronchial nitinol coils to improve lung function in emphysema (HTG370)
Evidence-based recommendations on insertion of endobronchial nitinol coils to improve lung function in emphysema. This involves inserting coils to reduce airflow to damaged parts of the lung.
Evidence-based recommendations on implantation of a shock or load absorber for mild to moderate symptomatic medial knee osteoarthritis.
Evidence-based recommendations on single incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy. This involves removing the gallbladder through a small cut, most often below the bellly button.
Minimally invasive video‑assisted parathyroidectomy (HTG350)
Evidence-based recommendations on minimally invasive video-assisted parathyroidectomy. This involves inserting surgical instruments through a small cut (keyhole surgery) to find and remove any abnormal glands.
Evidence-based recommendations on endoscopic radiofrequency ablation for Barrett’s oesophagus with low-grade dysplasia or no dysplasia. This involves using radiofrequency (heat) energy to destroy the abnormal cells and promote the growth of healthy normal cells.
Evidence-based recommendations on photochemical corneal cross linkage using riboflavin and ultraviolet A for keratoconus. This involves using special eye drops and exposing the eye ultraviolet light, with the aim to strengthen the cornea.
Selective internal radiation therapy for primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HTG314)
Evidence-based recommendations on selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) for primary hepatocellular carcinoma. This involves infusion of microspheres loaded with yttrium-90, which aims to deliver radiation directly into the tumour, minimising the risk of radiation damage to healthy surrounding tissues.
