Abstract
Improved endoluminal prostheses and methods for their use, having discrete position indicating elements which facilitate the orienting and deploying of the prostheses within body lumens. The endoluminal prostheses may include endovascular prostheses, often formed as stent-grafts having a flexible tubular liner or 'graft.' The position indicating elements may include an improved radiopaque image marker to be applied to the graft, before the graft is deployed particularly within branching blood vessels for the treatment of abdominal and other aneurysms. The marker is in the form of a flat metal blank resembling a circular plate or 'button.' The disk may be fastened or secured on to the graft using a pair of fastening shanks or tangs which extend parallel to each other outward from a surface of the plate.
