  1. Percutaneous insertion of a temporary heart pump for left ventricular haemodynamic support in high-risk percutaneous coronary interventions (HTG492)

    Evidence-based recommendations on percutaneous insertion of a temporary heart pump for left ventricular haemodynamic support in high-risk percutaneous coronary interventions. This involves inserting temporary pump to support circulation during a heart operation.

  2. Superior rectal artery embolisation for haemorrhoids (HTG485)

    Evidence-based recommendations on superior rectal artery embolisation for haemorrhoids in adults. This involves blocking the blood vessels supplying the haemorrhoids with tiny plastic particles or metal coils.

  3. Percutaneous closure of patent foramen ovale for the secondary prevention of recurrent paradoxical embolism in divers (HTG243)

    Evidence-based recommendations on percutaneous closure of patent foramen ovale for the secondary prevention of recurrent paradoxical embolism in divers. This involves passing a device through a large vessel in the groin up into the heart and closing/blocking the hole in the wall.

  4. Transvaginal laser therapy for stress urinary incontinence (HTG581)

    Evidence-based recommendations on transvaginal laser therapy for urinary stress incontinence. This involves using a laser in the vagina to strengthen the vaginal walls, to help support the bladder and reduce symptoms of urinary stress incontinence.

  5. Radially emitting laser fibre treatment of an anal fistula (HTG505)

    Evidence-based recommendations on radially emitting laser fibre treatment of an anal fistula in adults. This involves applying laser energy to the fistula.

  6. Endoscopic balloon dilation for subglottic or tracheal stenosis (HTG614)

    Evidence-based recommendations on endoscopic balloon dilation for subglottic or tracheal stenosis. This involves introducing a balloon device with the aim of widening the stenotic airway to improve symptoms.

  7. Incisionless otoplasty (HTG283)

    Evidence-based recommendations on incisionless otoplasty. This involves using a hollow needle to divide the ear cartilage, and using stitches buried under the skin to remould the ear.

  8. Liposuction for chronic lipoedema (HTG618)

    Evidence-based recommendations on liposuction for chronic lipoedema in adults. This involves using suction to remove abnormal fat.

  9. Selective internal radiation therapy for unresectable primary intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (HTG489)

    Evidence-based recommendations on selective internal radiation therapy for unresectable primary intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma in adults. This involves injecting tiny radioactive ‘beads’ into blood vessels that supply the liver, where they become trapped and release radiation directly into the cancer cells.

  10. Percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy for acute deep vein thrombosis of the leg (HTG516)

    Evidence-based recommendations on percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy for acute deep vein thrombosis of the leg in adults. This involves removing the clot through a catheter inserted into the vein.

  11. Therapeutic percutaneous image-guided aspiration of spinal cysts (HTG143)

    Evidence-based recommendations on therapeutic percutaneous image-guided aspiration of spinal cord cysts. This involves using a needle to drain the cyst and remove pressure on the spinal cord or nerve roots.

  12. Laparo-endogastric surgery (HTG10)

    Evidence-based recommendations on laparo-endogastric surgery. This involves performing surgery for gastric wall lesions by passing a flexible telescope (endoscope) through the gullet and into the stomach, and a thin tube (laparascope) through a small cut in the upper abdomen.

  13. Single-port laparoscopic nephrectomy (HTG278)

    Evidence-based recommendations on single-port laparoscopic nephrectomy. This involves removing the kidney using several small incisions (laparoscopy).

  14. Mavacamten for treating symptomatic obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (TA913)

    Evidence-based recommendations on mavacamten (Camzyos) for symptomatic obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

  15. Microwave ablation for primary or metastatic cancer in the lung (HTG609)

    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).
