This study presents finite element analysis (FEA) predictions of limit conditions for axial fatigue loading of generic coronary stent designs. It focuses on the impact of geometry and dimensional correction on fatigue behavior, stress distribution, and effective stress during extension. Residual stress effects are also examined. The analysis provides valuable insights for improving the fatigue resistance of coronary stents.
