Needle Size for TIPS Procedure

  • The provided studies do not directly mention the needle size used for the Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt (TIPS) procedure 1, 2.
  • However, the study by 1 mentions the use of a 10 Fr transducer, which may indicate the size of the equipment used, but it does not specifically state the needle size.
  • The study by 2 mentions the use of a 10 Fr x 15-cm plastic stent, but this is related to the treatment of biliary obstruction after TIPS placement, not the TIPS procedure itself.
  • Therefore, based on the provided evidence, there is no direct information available on the needle size used for the TIPS procedure.
