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).

Sizing, availability and pricing varies by country.
