Adding a Prior Stent

Introduction

You can manually add a prior stent to document a previous treatment for both invasive and non-invasive vascular studies.

If you want to do this ...	Complete these steps ...
Add a prior stent and lesion.	Click the Prior Stent tool on the vessel diagram toolbar . Click the first point of the stent. Click the second point of the stent. Optional: Drag the endpoints to resize the stent.
Add a single-click prior stent to an existing lesion.	Click the Prior Stent tool on the vessel diagram toolbar . Click the lesion. Synapse adds the stent to the lesion. Optional: Drag the endpoints to resize the stent. Note: You cannot use the single click method on bifurcated or trifurcated lesions.
Resize a stent without resizing the lesion.	Right-click the prior stent and select Resize Stent Only. The stent points display. Click and drag the endpoints to resize the stent. Note: Stents that are independently resized from their associated lesion, independently carry over as well.
Change a prior stent to a current stent (for invasive diagrams only)	See Changing a Prior Stent to a Current Stent.
Add a kissing stent.	See Adding a Kissing Stent.
Add a prior stent to a NIV study.	In the vessel diagram, select the lesion. In the properties panel, select a Treatment Type from the drop-down list.
Turn off the Prior Stent Tool.	Click the Prior Stent tool or press the ESC key.

A prior stent displays as grey, to distinguish it from the current stent.

After Synapse adds a prior stent to a diagram, the standard stent tool displays again on the non-invasive vascular diagram toolbar.
