This involves inserting a new valve inside a failed bioprosthetic valve to replace the faulty one without needing repeat open heart surgery
Evidence-based recommendations on transapical transcatheter mitral valve-in-ring implantation after failed annuloplasty for mitral valve repair in adults. This involves inserting a bioprosthetic mitral valve into an existing mitral valve ring to treat a leaking mitral valve, without needing repeat open heart surgery
Evidence-based recommendations on genicular artery embolisation for pain from knee osteoarthritis. This involves inserting a tube through an artery in the groin into the genicular artery, and injecting tiny particles through it to block new blood vessels
Evidence-based recommendations on laparoscopic renal denervation for loin pain haematuria syndrome in adults. This involves the stripping away of nerves from the kidney using keyhole surgery to relieve pain
Evidence-based recommendations on percutaneous endovascular forearm arteriovenous fistula creation for haemodialysis access in adults. This involves using radiofrequency energy, or heat and pressure, to join an artery and vein in the forearm to create a fistula for haemodialysis access
Evidence-based recommendations on coronary sinus narrowing device implantation for refractory angina in adults. This involves putting a device into the coronary sinus to narrow it with the aim of improving the flow of oxygenated blood throughout the heart muscle
Evidence-based recommendations on transanal total mesorectal excision for rectal cancer in adults. This involves removing the cancer through the anus or a small cut in the abdomen
Evidence-based recommendations endobronchial nerve ablation for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. This involves destroying (ablating) the nerves on the outside of the airway (endobronchial nerves) to improve breathing
Evidence-based recommendations on microwave ablation for primary or metastatic cancer in the lung in adults. This involves inserting a probe into the lung, through the skin of the chest, to send microwaves into the cancer cells. This produces heat, aiming to destroy the cancer (ablation)
