Abstract

The present invention provides an endoluminal prosthesis for deployment in a body lumen of a patient body, the prosthesis comprising a tubular fabric linen and a radially expandable frame supporting the liner. A plurality of imageable bodies are attached to the liner, the imageable bodies providing a sharp contrast so as to define a pattern which indicates the prosthesis position when the prosthesis is imaged within the patient body. Preferably, each imageable body comprises a plate having first and second opposed major surfaces and a passage therebetween to facilitate stitching the imageable body to the liner. Advantageously, the imageable bodies can be aligned with the openings of a perforate frame structure so that at least some of the imageable bodies are visible through associated openings, but need not actually be attached to the frame directly. Such imageable bodies are clearly visible when the prosthesis is deployed, and can also be sized to produce distinct images even when the frame is compressed within a delivery catheter, but will not interfere with the radial expansion of the frame during deployment.
