Abstract

Certain examples of the disclosure concern a prosthetic device. The prosthetic device can include a radially compressible and expandable frame and a screw actuator coupled to the frame and configured to be rotated to radially expand the frame from a radially compressed state to a radially expanded state. The frame can include two or more pairs of first markers and second markers. The pairs of first and second markers can be circumferentially spaced apart from each other. The first and second markers of each pair can be axially aligned and axially movable relative to one another as the frame radially expands. Positions of the first and second markers can be configured so that a difference in axial distances between respective pairs of the first markers and second markers can indicate a degree of evenness of the frame's radial expansion.
