Percutaneous endoscopic laser balloon pulmonary vein isolation for atrial fibrillation (HTG417)
Evidence-based recommendations on percutaneous endoscopic laser balloon pulmonary vein isolation for atrial fibrillation in adults. This involves destroying the tissue causing atrial fibrillation using laser energy.
Ultrasound-guided percutaneous radiofrequency ablation for benign thyroid nodules (HTG416)
Evidence-based recommendations on ultrasound-guided percutaneous radiofrequency ablation for treating benign thyroid nodules in adults. This involves using heat energy to destroy tissue in the nodules.
Evidence-based recommendations on transcervical extracorporeal reverse flow neuroprotection for reducing the risk of stroke during carotid artery stenting in adults. This involves reversing blood flow away from the brain and filtering the blood to remove any debris.
Endovenous mechanochemical ablation for varicose veins (HTG414)
Evidence-based recommendations on endovenous mechanochemical ablation for varicose veins. This involves using a rotating wire and chemical to close the varicose vein.
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.
Ab externo canaloplasty for primary open-angle glaucoma (HTG448)
Evidence-based recommendations on ab externo canaloplasty for primary open-angle glaucoma in adults. This involves widening the eye’s main draining canal by inserting a tiny tube, then removing the tube and stitching the canal to keep it open.
Evidence-based recommendations on radiofrequency treatment for haemorrhoids in adults. This involves using radiofrequency energy to shrink the haemorrhoids.
