Adding a Pseudoaneurysm to a Vessel Diagram

Use the Pseudoaneurysm tool to add a pseudoaneurysm to a vessel diagram for arterial diagrams. You can add up to two pseudoaneurysms to a vessel segment or graft.

  • Pseudoaneurysms cannot overlap other pseudoaneurysms.
  • You cannot add a pseudoaneurysm to a bifurcated or trifurcated segment.

Steps

  1. Click the Pseudoaneurysm tool on the vessel diagram toolbar.
  2. Click the location of the pseudoaneurysm on a vessel segment or graft.
  3. Do any of the following:

    4. If you want to do this ...

    Complete these steps ...

    Drag a pseudoaneurysm to a new location.
    • Click the endpoint of the pseudoaneurysm.
    • Drag to your preferred location, proximally or distally.
    • Note: If the pseudoaneurysm endpoint goes past the last vessel segment, Synapse places the pseudoaneurysm at the furthest point within the vessel segment.

    Change the side of the wall that a pseudoaneurysm displays.
    • Click the Wall option in the Vessel Wall option in the Pseudoaneurysm properties panel.

    Change the size of a pseudoaneurysm.
    • Click a Size option in the Pseudoaneurysm properties panel.
    • The default size is medium.

    Delete a pseudoaneurysm.

Results

The associated properties display in a pseudoaneurysm tab in the Aneurysms section of the properties panel. pseudoaneurysm that are added to a vessel diagram are automatically propagated to subsequent studies.
