  11. Intravascular lithotripsy to treat calcified coronary arteries during percutaneous coronary intervention (HTG740)

    Evidence-based recommendations on intravascular lithotripsy to treat calcified coronary arteries during percutaneous coronary intervention. This involves using ultrasound shockwaves to break up hard deposits in the arteries, to allow blood to flow more freely.

  12. Cryoablation for atrial fibrillation in association with other cardiac surgery (HTG74)

    Evidence-based recommendations on cryoablation for atrial fibrillation in association with other cardiac surgery. This involves using a probe to freeze the heart tissue to scar it and interrupt the abnormal electrical signals.
