ABSTRACT:
A process comprising the steps of providing a precursor for an implantable medical device, at least a portion of the precursor made of a shape memory material, the shape memory material having a receptacle for receiving a marker therein, the shape memory material having an austenitic and a martensitic phase; enlarging the receptacle while the shape memory material is in the martensitic phase; inserting a marker in the receptacle while the shape memory material is in the martensitic phase; and thereafter transforming the precursor to the austenitic phase.
