ENDOVASCULAR DEPLOYMENT DEVICE

摘要

An endovascular delivery device has a portion, such as the nose cone dila tor (40), being formed from a radiopaque material and that portion has a sel ected transverse profile such as a notch through aperture (47) so that in a selected rotational orientation of the endovascular delivery device the nose cone dilator can be observed by radiographic means during an endovascular p rocedure to be in that selected rotational orientation. The selected transve rse profile can be a notch, protrusion or aperture. The notch or aperture ca n be filled with a radio-transparent material to provide a smooth outer surf ace.
