In one aspect, a radiopaque marker for a medical implant, such as a stent graft for aortic aneurism repair, includes a first radiopaque component connected to a second radiopaque component by a connection. The first radiopaque component includes a non-biodegradable radiopaque body. The radiopaque marker has a first configuration and a second configuration that differ from one another in at least one of volume and shape such that the first and second configurations produce different radiographic images. This change in radiopacity can provide useful information to a surgeon in the event that reintervention becomes necessary.
