Evidence-based recommendations on telemetric adjustable pulmonary artery banding for reducing pulmonary hypertension in infants with congenital heart defects. This involves placing a remote-controlled band around the pulmonary artery that can be tightened or loosened to control blood flow.
Obstructive sleep apnoea/hypopnoea syndrome and obesity hypoventilation syndrome in over 16s (NG202)
This guideline covers the diagnosis and management of obstructive sleep apnoea/hypopnoea syndrome (OSAHS), obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with OSAHS (COPD–OSAHS overlap syndrome) in people over 16. It aims to improve recognition, investigation and treatment of these related conditions.

Evidence-based recommendations on percutaneous mitral valve annuloplasty. This involves inserting a catheter into a large vein in the groin or neck and passing through to the heart. A device is placed into a large vein that sits next to the mitral valve to constrict the valve, with the aim of making it close properly.

Evidence-based recommendations on rivaroxaban (Xarelto) for preventing atherothrombotic events in adults with coronary or peripheral artery disease.
Evidence-based recommendations on off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting. This involves attaching a healthy blood vessel to the heart muscle so that blood can get round (‘bypass’) the affected part of the coronary artery.

Our forward view highlights the areas we will prioritise in the coming year.
Evidence-based recommendations on adalimumab (Humira), etanercept (Enbrel), infliximab (Remicade, Remsima, Inflectra), certolizumab pegol (Cimzia), golimumab (Simponi), tocilizumab (RoActemra) and abatacept (Orencia). These drugs are for adults with severe rheumatoid arthritis who have tried conventional DMARDs only but they have not worked.
