Claim Text:
1. A method for determining a rotational orientation of a delivery system for a medical device through a vasculature, the method comprising: receiving a delivery system including a capsule and a marker band rotatably fixed to the capsule, the marker band including a single band portion disposed at a proximal end of the capsule and a plurality of protrusions extending distally from the band portion, wherein at least one of the plurality of protrusions extends to a distal end of the capsule and wherein at least one of the plurality of protrusions does not extend to the distal end of the capsule, wherein the plurality of protrusions are configured to allow rotational orientation of the marker band to be determined while the capsule is in the vasculature; delivering the medical device through the vasculature; determining a rotational orientation of the marker band while the capsule is in the vasculature, the rotational orientation being around a central axis of the vasculature.
