Use of Scorpion X for Tips Procedure
The Scorpion X access set, when used in combination with ice for sonographic visualization, provides unparalleled steerability during the Tips procedure. By leveraging direct sonographic guidance, precise movements can be made, inch by inch, to improve accuracy in accessing the portal vein. Additionally, the Scorpion X set allows for efficient dilatation of the tissue tract, reducing the need for additional catheters and wire exchanges. This tool enables safe and effective navigation through the parenchyma during the procedure.
