Summary: | Stents are usually used as an implant in the human bodies for the treatment of blocked coronary arteries, and hence supporting them. Stents have become a highly viable option in the present times for such treatments. While the use of stents has proved to be highly beneficial for such purposes, there are also concerns associated with the incidences of fractures in the structures, particularly after being implanted in human body. Such fractures of stents not only make the structure ineffective for treatment, but also impact the human health. The objective of this review has been focused on understanding the stents fracture, based on a failure analysis approach, and hence to realize the ideal properties of stent, the contribution of corrosion and fatigues to stent fractures, and overall role of fracture mechanics. Towards that, computer interactive design criteria, and simulation-based performance analysis was also taken into consideration. |
