Embolised device complications
The majority of scaffold stent have low radiopacity. This page provides an overview of how to identify the radiopacity of various scaffolds.
Scaffold is radiolucent, which requires to have small metal markers embedded in each end so that the physicians can identify the location of the scaffold under fluoroscopy.
