Deleting Vessel Diagram Figures

Note:

Because the vessel diagram data is hierarchical, care should be used when you delete a vessel segment, graft, or collateral. Deleting any of these components results in the deletion of all sub-components, including lesions, thrombi, treatments, attempts, and inventory.

Deleting Diagram Figures Using the Delete Key

Use the Delete key to delete grafts, vessel segments, aneurysms, pseudoaneurysms, filters, lesions, thrombi, varicosities, and collaterals.

Note:

If you delete a stent using the Delete key, Synapse removes both the stent and the underlying lesion or thrombus. If you want to delete only the stent, see Deleting Diagram Figures Using the Properties Panel.

Steps

1. Click the diagram figure that you want to delete on the vessel diagram and press the Delete key on the keyboard.
2. Click Yes to delete the selected item or No to cancel the delete operation.

Deleting Diagram Figures Using the Context Menu

Use the context menu to delete the following vessel diagram figures:

• Lesions
• Thrombi
• filters

Note:

If you delete a stent using the context menu, Synapse removes both the stent and the underlying lesion or thrombus. If you want to delete only the stent, see Deleting Diagram Figures Using the Properties Panel.

Steps

1. Right-click the lesion, thrombus, or filter that you want to delete. Synapse displays a context menu.
2. Click Delete Lesion, Delete Thrombus, or Delete Filter.
3. Click Yes to delete the selected item or No to cancel the delete operation.

Deleting Diagram Figures Using the Properties Panel

Items that you added to the vessel diagram display in a tab in the properties panel. All tabs in the properties panel contain a delete X control, which you can use to delete that tab and all the associated data that was entered into the tabbed section.

Steps

1. Click Delete X in the property tab of the diagram figure that you want to delete.
2. Click Yes to permanently delete that item from the diagram and the Synapse database or No to cancel the delete operation.

Results

Because data is hierarchical, Synapse deletes all associated data of the diagram figure.

• When you delete a lesion or thrombus, Synapse deletes any associated treatments, attempts, inventory, and callouts.
• When you delete a graft, Synapse deletes any associated data, lesions, thrombi, aneurysms, grafts, treatments, attempts, inventory, and callouts.
• When you delete a collateral or thrombus, Synapse deletes all associated coronary data.
• When you delete a pseudoaneurysm, Synapse deletes the pseudoaneurysm and all the associated data.
• When you delete a treatment, Synapse deletes all the associated attempts and inventories.
• If you delete a data item that is lower in the hierarchy, such as a treatment, Synapse does not delete the higher-level items.

Note:

To remove an NIV stent and not the associated lesion or thrombus, you must remove the Treatment Type in the Properties Panel.
