  1. Subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator insertion for preventing sudden cardiac death (HTG460)

    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.

  2. 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.

  3. Artificial heart implantation as a bridge to transplantation for end-stage refractory biventricular heart failure (HTG459)

    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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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).

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. Liposuction for chronic lipoedema (HTG618)

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

  11. Percutaneous insertion of a cystic duct stent after cholecystostomy for acute calculous cholecystitis (HTG617)

    Evidence-based recommendations on percutaneous insertion of a cystic duct stent after cholecystostomy for acute calculous cholecystitis. This involves inserting a tube called a stent into or across the cystic duct. The aim is to allow bile to flow through the tube, bypassing the blockage and preventing further obstruction.

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

    Evidence-based recommendations on intramedullary distraction for lower limb lengthening in children, young people and adults. This involves surgically inserting a metal lengthening device in the shorter leg.

  13. Intramedullary distraction for lower limb lengthening (HTG613)

    Evidence-based recommendations on intramedullary distraction for lower limb lengthening in children, young people and adults. This involves surgically inserting a metal lengthening device in the shorter leg.

  14. Endoscopic full thickness removal of gastrointestinal stromal tumours of the stomach (HTG612)

    Evidence-based recommendations on endoscopic full thickness removal of gastrointestinal stromal tumours of the stomach. This involves removing a tumour using an endoscope and forceps. The aim is to remove the tumour without the need for open surgery.

  15. Sacral nerve stimulation for faecal incontinence (HTG61)

    Evidence-based recommendations on sacral nerve stimulation for faecal incontinence. This involves using electrodes inserted under the skin to produce pulses of electricity thought to affect the nerves controlling the lower part of the bowel and the anal sphincter.
