Current evidence on percutaneous laser revascularisation (PLR) for refractory angina pectoris shows no efficacy and suggests that the procedure may pose unacceptable safety risks. Therefore, this procedure should not be used. Interventional procedure guidance 302. Copyright © National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence, 2009. All rights reserved.

The evidence on percutaneous (non-thoracoscopic) epicardial catheter radiofrequency ablation for ventricular tachycardia (VT) is limited to a small number of patients, but it shows that the procedure is efficacious in carefully selected individuals and raises no major safety issues, in the context of a condition which is potentially life-threatening. Therefore, the procedure may be used with normal arrangements for clinical governance, but with special arrangements for consent. Interventional procedure guidance 295.

Current evidence on the safety and efficacy of percutaneous (non-thoracoscopic) epicardial catheter radiofrequency ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) is inadequate in quantity. Therefore this procedure should only be used with special arrangements for clinical governance and consent. Interventional procedure guidance 294.

The evidence on percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation for right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) dysfunction is limited to small numbers of patients but shows good short-term efficacy. There is little evidence on long-term efficacy. There are no particular safety concerns in the context of a condition that otherwise requires open cardiac surgery. Clinicians wishing to use this procedure should do so only with special arrangements for clinical governance, consent and for audit or research. Interventional procedure guidance 237.
