ABSTRACT
Stent is one of the common solutions offered to patient with atherosclerosis. An ideal stent should have good
mechanical and biological properties. This research aims to analyze the importance of strut linker geometry in
influencingmechanical behavior of stent especially on recoil and foreshortening percentages, as well as fatigue
safety factor prediction, using finite element analysis. The result indicated that strut linker geometry may influence
stent mechanical behavior.
