Use the Lesion tool or the Lesions control in the properties panel to manually draw lesions within vessels on the vessel diagram. In addition to native vessels, you can add lesions to newly added vessels and grafts.
Lesion properties in the properties panel are site configurable. See your System Administrator for more information.
