Abstract
A marker to assist locating a device such as an expandable stent within vasculature of a patient, including an elongated body formed of a biocompatible radiopaque material that enhances locating the marker when using at least one imaging technique. The body has a first end, a second end, an inner surface, an outer surface, and at least two opposing edges extending between the first and second ends and establishing a boundary between the inner surface and the outer surface. The inner surface of the body defines a passageway extending between the first and second ends. In a first condition, the body defines a gap between the at least two opposing edges, the gap enabling unobstructed communication of the passageway with the outer surface of the body. In a second condition, the gap is obstructed to substantially prevent communication of the passageway with the outer surface of the body.
