Adding a Stent Graft to a Vessel Diagram
Introduction
The Clinical Reporting Application (CRA) supports stent grafts, Endovascular Aneurysm Repair (EVAR), and Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair (TEVAR) in Invasive Peripheral Vascular (PV) and non-invasive vascular (NIV) vessel diagrams.
|
Note: |
You can have only one EVAR stent graft on a vessel diagram. |
Steps
- Do any of the following:
- Click Stent Graft
on the vessel diagram toolbar. - Click the first point on an aorta vessel segment.
- Click the second point on an aorta vessel segment.
- Optional: Drag the endpoints to resize the stent graft.
- Click Stent Graft on the vessel diagram toolbar.
- Click the aorta vessel segment.
- Click the second point on one iliac vessel and click the third point on the opposing lateral iliac vessel.
- Optional: Drag the endpoints to resize the stent graft.
- Note: You cannot drag the proximal endpoint below the dAo vessel segment and you cannot drag the distal endpoints above the pCIA vessel segments.
- Click Stent
on the vessel diagram toolbar. - In the Treatment tab of the properties panel, select Stent Graft from the treatment Type drop-down list.
- Optional: Drag the endpoints to resize the stent graft.
- Note: The pre- and post- stenosis lesion does not change under the stent graft.
- Click the Stent Graft tool or press the ESC.

|---|---|
|
Create a TEVAR. |
Results: Synapse adds an aneurysm, a stent graft, and a 0% pre- and post- stenosis lesion under the stent graft. |
|
Create an EVAR. |
Results: Synapse adds three aneurysms, a stent graft to the vessel diagram, and a 0% pre- and post- stenosis lesion under the stent graft. |
|
Create stent graft. |
Results: Synapse changes the stent to a stent graft. |
|
Change the type of aneurysm for an EVAR or a TEVAR. |
|
|
Turn off the Stent Graft tool. |
|
Results
The aneurysms and stent grafts are separate both in the EVAR and the TEVAR allowing you to adjust or delete aneurysms independent of the stent graft.
