Cardiovascular medical devices are invented and used for a myriad of reasons. They maintain blood vessel flow lumens, exclude aneurysms and dissections, close orifices and communications, and even completely replace the function of valves, vessels, and membranes. However, with focused attention on the implant's primary functions, it is easy forget that an implant also has secondary objectives – to do no harm and stay intact. While loss of device integrity may not lead to immediate clinical sequelae, the potential risk for such events may increase over the lifetime of the device.
