The present invention relates to a flexible radial expandable stent, preferably a bifurcated stent, for surgical implantation in a body lumen having a radiopaque coating on the distal and/or proximal ends of the stent, and on a portion of the body of the stent, and to a method of conveniently affixing the radiopaque material thereon. The radiopaque coating enhances the visibility of the stent in a body lumen when viewed using an imaging device such as a fluoroscope.

La présente invention concerne une endoprothèse vasculaire extensible, radiale et souple, de préférence une endoprothèse vasculaire bifurquée, destinée à être implantée, par intervention chirurgicale, dans une lumière corporelle. Ladite endoprothèse comporte un revêtement radio-opaque au niveau de ses extrémités distale et/ou proximale, et sur une partie de son corps. L'invention concerne également un procédé permettant de fixer facilement le matériau radio-opaque sur l'endoprothèse. Le revêtement radio-opaque améliore la visibilité de l'endoprothèse vasculaire dans une lumière corporelle lorsqu'on la visualise au moyen d'un dispositif d'imagerie tel qu'un fluoroscope.
