<p>Endoprothesis, such as a stent, including at least one annular element, which further includes a foot extension extending between at least one pair of circumferentially-adjacent strut members defined in the annular member. The foot extension has first and second foot portions extending circumferentially from corresponding ends of the circumferentially-adjacent strut members, and are contoured to provide at least two areas of flexure. A plurality of annular elements are longitudinally aligned and connected at connection locations with connectors, wherein at least one of the connectors is constructed of a bio-absorbable material. A method of inserting a radiopaque marker having a first head on a first end of an endoprosthesis having at least one eyelet comprising:
a) disposing said marker element within the eyelet;
b) forming a second head on a second end of the marker element, said second head projecting above a second surface of the endoprosthesis.</p> |
