ENDOVASKULÄRE EINSATZVORRICHTUNG

摘要

An endovascular delivery device (1) has a portion, such as the nose cone dilator (8), being formed from a radiopaque material and that portion has a selected transverse profile such as a notch (26) 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 procedure to be in that selected rotational orientation. The selected transverse profile can be a notch, protrusion or aperture. The notch or aperture can be filled with a radio-transparent material to provide a sooth outer surface.
