Adding a Stent to a Vessel Diagram
Introduction
Use the stent tool to add stents to lesions or to vessel segments. You can add a stent to a lesion that is contained within an aneurysm. A stent within an aneurysm is the same as a stent within an ordinary segment.
Steps.
- Do any of the following:
- Click the
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.
- Click
the 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 and lesion.
- Note: You cannot use the single click method on bifurcated or trifrucated lesions.
- Click the stent in the vessel diagram.
- In Treatments tab, select a stent from the Type drop-down list.
- Right-click the 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 to future studies.
- When repositioning the endpoints of a stent, you can make a stent shorter than a lesion, but you cannot make the stent longer than the lesion it is treating.
- See Adding Invasive Diagram Treatments .
- Note: You cannot add a bifurcated or trifurcated stent in the properties panel. You must use the stent tool.
- Click the Stent tool or press ESC key.

Results
Synapse adds a stent to the lesion. Synapse adds a Treatment and an Attempt section to the properties panel for that lesion.
When you use the Stent tool to draw a stent directly on a vessel (as opposed to when you click a lesion to add the stent), Synapse automatically creates a lesion and stent in the vessel diagram and displays lesion and stent properties in the properties panel. By default, Synapse then assigns the lesion a stenosis of 70% and TIMI Flow of 3% (where TIMI Flow is applicable). The properties of that lesion must be manually updated to reflect the correct stenosis.
