a. The selected balloon diameter may be 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 mm, and should not exceed 10 mm. A balloon which can reach an inflation pressure of 10 ATM must be selected, and should be inflated to a minimum of 10 ATM.  
b. Lengths may vary by ± 0.5 cm. 
c. A stiff guidewire, having a length of at least 180 cm and a diameter as listed in the table, is required. Delivery catheter working length is 75 cm for all endoprosthesis configurations. 
d. Introducer sheath length must be sufficient to be delivered into the portal circulation by ≥ 3 cm. It is recommended that a wall-reinforced 10 Fr TIPS introducer sheath with an integral radiopaque marker band, a hemostatic valve large enough to accept the 13 Fr access sleeve, and a length of approximately 40-45 cm be used (e.g., GORE® TIPS Sheath or COOK® FLEXOR® CHECK-FLO® II).
