Current evidence on the safety of percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy for acute deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of the leg shows there are well-recognised but infrequent complications. - For acute iliofemoral DVT the evidence on efficacy is limited in quality and quantity, therefore this procedure should only be used with special arrangements for clinical governance, consent, and audit or research. - For distal DVT that does not extend into the common femoral vein the evidence on efficacy is ...

The evidence on percutaneous insertion of a cerebral protection device to prevent cerebral embolism during TAVI raises no major safety concerns other than those associated with the TAVI procedure. However, the evidence on efficacy for preventing TAVI-related stroke is inconclusive. Therefore, this procedure should only be used with special arrangements for clinical governance, consent, and audit or research. The specialist advisers and the committee considered the key efficacy outcome to be: ...

Endovascular insertion of an intrasaccular wire-mesh blood-flow disruption device for intracranial aneurysms is used for the embolisation of ruptured and unruptured intracranial aneurysms. It may be particularly suitable for people with wide-necked aneurysms. The procedure is usually done under general anaesthesia. A catheter is inserted into the femoral artery and advanced into the cerebral circulation under X‑ray guidance. A second, smaller catheter is put inside the first and is inserted ...

The technology described in this briefing is PIUR tUS (3D tomographic ultrasound). It is for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) surveillance and endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) endoleak detection or surveillance. Three expert commentators noted that using PIUR tUS avoids exposure to ionising radiation and nephrotoxic contrast media from CT scanning. Three commentators noted that using PIUR tUS would mean quicker results (because of availability of ultrasound imaging), shorter appointments and ...

The technology described in this briefing is Kendall DL, a single-patient-use electrocardiogram (ECG) cable and lead wire system. It is used for diagnostic and ongoing patient monitoring. This briefing focuses on its use for people having cardiac surgery. Two commentators thought disposable ECG cables and leads would reduce the possibility of cross-contamination between patients. They also thought that using the new technology with its disposable design would reduce the risk of equipment ...
