Percutaneous transluminal renal sympathetic denervation for resistant hypertension (HTG662)
Evidence-based recommendations on percutaneous transluminal renal sympathetic denervation for resistant hypertension. This involves inserting a device through the skin (percutaneous) into an artery in the thigh and then into the renal arteries (transluminal). It sends radio or sound waves to destroy the nerves in the renal arteries (sympathetic denervation). The aim is to lower blood pressure.

Endoluminal gastroplication for gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (HTG661)
Evidence-based recommendations on endoluminal gastroplication for gastro-oesophageal reflux disease. This involves an endoscopic fastening device being inserted through the mouth and into the stomach, along with an endoscope for constant visualisation. The device is used to attach the fundus to the anterior and left lateral wall of the distal oesophagus slightly above the oesophagogastric junction.

Evidence-based recommendations on transvenous obliteration for gastric varices. This involves inserting a tube with a tiny balloon on the end into a vein in the thigh or neck. The tube is then passed into the enlarged vein in the stomach (gastric varix) and the balloon is inflated to stop blood flowing into the vein. The vein is then blocked using one of several techniques. The aim is to reduce the risk of bleeding.

Trabeculectomy with a biodegradable collagen matrix implant for glaucoma (HTG656)
Evidence-based recommendations on trabeculectomy with a biodegradable collagen matrix implant for glaucoma. This involves cutting a small flap in the white of the eye and putting a patch over the flap to help healing and prevent scarring. Fluid slowly drains out of the flap and the patch dissolves over time. The aim is to reduce pressure in the eye and slow or stop damage to sight.

Laparoscopic insertion of a magnetic ring for gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (HTG654)
Evidence-based recommendations on laparoscopic insertion of a magnetic ring for gastro-oesophageal reflux disease. This involves placing a ring of beads outside of the food pipe, just above the stomach. Magnets inside the beads hold them together to keep the food pipe closed but are weak enough to move apart to allow food or liquid to be swallowed. The aim is to prevent acid reflux.
