1. An implant comprising:

  • a self-expandable body having proximal and distal ends and expanded and compressed configurations,a radiopaque marker positioned within an interior volume of the body and held adjacent the distal end by at least one filament coupled to the proximal and distal ends,wherein the at least one filament crosses the interior volume of the body extending from the marker and terminating at the proximal end, andwherein the at least one filament has a length about equal to a length of the body in the compressed configuration such that (i) the marker is misaligned with respect to a longitudinal axis of the body when the implant is unconstrained in the expanded configuration and (ii) the marker is aligned with the longitudinal axis of the body when the body is in the compressed configuration.
