Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Creation of the parenchymal tract between the portal vein and the hepatic vein is the most difficult and time consuming step in a TIPS procedure. The purpose of this study is to evaluate portal vein access sets during the TIPS procedure.
