We have moved interventional procedures guidance 525 to become HealthTech guidance 377. This is to better reflect the NICE HealthTech programme which combines the former NICE Diagnostics Assessment programme, Interventional Procedures programme and Medical Technologies Evaluation programme and to help you find relevant content more quickly. The guidance itself has not changed.
This guidance has been updated and replaced by NICE guideline NG125.
