1. An intravascular implant having a radiopaque marker, the intravascular implant comprising:

  • a proximal undulating ring defining a proximal side of the intravascular implant comprising a plurality of proximal struts, the plurality of proximal struts comprising a plurality of first proximal struts and a plurality of second proximal struts, wherein each first proximal strut of the plurality of first proximal struts is connected to at least one second proximal strut of the plurality of second proximal struts, wherein a proximal end of each first proximal strut of the plurality of first proximal struts is connected to a proximal end of a second proximal strut of the plurality of second proximal struts to form a plurality of first proximal apices and a distal end of each first proximal strut of the plurality of first proximal struts is connected to a distal end of a second proximal strut of the plurality of second proximal struts to form a plurality of first distal apices, wherein at least one first proximal apex of the plurality of first proximal apices defines a proximal end of the intravascular implant;

    a distal undulating ring defining a distal side of the intravascular implant comprising a plurality of distal struts, the plurality of distal struts comprising a plurality of first distal struts and a plurality of second distal struts, wherein each first distal strut of the plurality of first distal struts is connected to at least one second distal strut of the plurality of second distal struts, wherein a distal end of each first distal strut of the plurality of first distal struts is connected to a distal end of a second distal strut of the plurality of second distal struts to form a plurality of second distal apices and a proximal end of each first distal strut of the plurality of first distal struts is connected to a proximal end of a second distal strut of the plurality of second distal struts to form a plurality of second proximal apices, wherein at least one second distal apex of the plurality of second distal apices defines a distal end of the intravascular implant;

    a plurality of bridge members located between and connected to the proximal undulating ring and the distal undulating ring, a first end of each bridge member of the plurality of bridge members being connected to a first distal apex of the plurality of first distal apices and a second end of each bridge member of the plurality of bridge members being connected to a second proximal apex of the plurality of second proximal apices;

    a plurality of radiopaque markers, each radiopaque marker of the plurality of radiopaque markers being located at a central zone of each bridge member of the plurality of bridge members and having a generally flat outer surface.
