Radiopaque markers and methods of using the same

摘要

A temporary and retrievable radiopaque marker (14) and discrete radiopaque marker (24) for use on an implantable endoprosthesis (16). The elongate marker (14,24) has a proximal end (14a,24a), a distal end, and a thickness. At least a portion of the marker (14,24) is radiopaque and the marker (14) is removably-attached to the implantable endoprosthesis (16).
