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.
