    1 Draft recommendations

    1.1 Evidence on the safety and efficacy of percutaneous implantation of pulmonary artery pressure sensors for monitoring treatment of chronic heart failure is adequate to support using this procedure provided that standard arrangements are in place for clinical governance, consent and audit. Find out what standard arrangements mean on the NICE interventional procedures guidance page.

    1.2 Patient selection and treatment should be done by a multidisciplinary team. This should include healthcare professionals (both a doctor and a nurse) experienced in managing chronic heart failure, and interventional specialists experienced in right-heart catheterisation and inserting this device.
