 Abstract

TIPS placement is one of the most technically challenging procedures in interventional radiology. During TIPS, limited image guidance (IG) is provided, especially during the intrahepatic puncture. To develop a suitable IG system, the aim of this study was (1) to know what parts of the procedure developers need to focus to contribute to a successful TIPS placement and (2) to find possible solutions for the IG system. Action research and co-design methods were applied to define a list of 18 prioritized steps and possible solutions. All seemed to be related to the intrahepatic puncture. The results allow developers to create a system which provides complete and required support to improve TIPS. It shows that prioritizing steps with the end-user makes a development process efficient and will increase the impact of developing new medical technology.
