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.
- Start the kissing stent from the most proximal vessel segment.
- 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%.
