Adding a Kissing Stent

Introduction

You can add a kissing stent to a new stent or a prior stent. Synapse supports only two kissing stents per lesion.

If you want to add a kissing stent that is near a branching vessel, you must click a point proximal to the branch, but distal to any other branches.

Steps.

  1. Start the kissing stent from the most proximal vessel segment.
  2. Drag the point of the kissing stent into an existing stent to the proximal endpoint.

Results

Synapse updates the kissing stent graphic with a line to show the kissing stent path. Where the kissing stent is, Synapse reduces the width of the original stent by 50%.
