ABSTRACT:
A fluoroscopically alignable assembly is set forth. A longitudinally extending element support is extendable into a body cavity. The element, which may be in the nature of a cutting element, is supported by the element support. A radiopaque marker pattern is carried by the support. The pattern is such that by fluoroscopic viewing of the pattern, the user can determine the angular orientation of the element. In accordance with the method of the invention, the element can be aligned in a desired direction by fluoroscopically observing the marker pattern.
