1. An apparatus comprising:
a thin-film mesh having a plurality of pores that form a region of high pore density flanked by regions of low pore density, wherein radiopaque markers delineate transition zones between regions;
wherein the thin-film mesh has a pore density of between 65 and 1075 pores per mm2 and a percent metal coverage of between 16 and 66%, and
wherein the thin-film mesh comprises two thin-film layers joined at two longitudinal edges by a bonding metal deposited at each longitudinal edge between the two thin-film layers.
