Focal therapy using high-intensity focused ultrasound for localised prostate cancer (HTG667)
Evidence-based recommendations on focal therapy using high-intensity focused ultrasound for localised prostate cancer. This involves using high-intensity focused ultrasound to heat up and destroy only the areas of the prostate with cancer (focal therapy). The aim is to destroy the cancer while reducing damage to healthy prostate tissue.

Percutaneous thoracic duct embolisation for persistent chyle leak (HTG666)
Evidence-based recommendations on percutaneous thoracic duct embolisation for persistent chyle leak. In this procedure, under general anaesthesia, ultrasound and X-rays are used to create an image of the thoracic duct and find the leak. Then, using a needle, a tube is inserted through the abdominal wall (percutaneous) and guided into the thoracic duct. Small metal coils and medical glue are inserted through the tube and used to plug the leak (embolisation). The aim is to stop the leak.

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.
