ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to an intraluminal medical device formed of a first base material and having a second material inlaid in the base material wherein at least one of said first material and said second material is more radiopaque than the other. The second material may be inlaid in the first either by swaging, rolling, or by coextruding the two materials. The second radiopaque material forms a substantially smooth surface with the first base material.
