ENDOPROSTHESES WITH PERMANENTLY DISPOSED RADIOPAQUE MARKERS

摘要

A discrete radiopaque marker (24) for use on an implantable endoprosthesis (16). The elongate marker (24) has a proximal end (24a), a distal end (24b), and a thickness. At least a portion of the marker (24) is radiopaque and the marker (24) is attached to the implantable endoprosthesis (16) through either plastic or elastic deformation.
