“…Magnesium and its alloys are being investigated for their suitability to replace bio-inert metallic implants in typical cardiovascular therapeutic applications. These include prosthesis implantation and stent insertions, such as artificial valves, stents, pacemaker cases, and stent-grafts [80].…”

Magnesium is a promising material. It has a remarkable mix of mechanical and biomedical properties that has made it suitable for a vast range of applications. Moreover, with alloying, many of these inherent properties can be further improved. Today, it is primarily used in the automotive, aerospace, and medical industries. However, magnesium has its own set of drawbacks that the industry and research communities are actively addressing. Magnesium’s rapid corrosion is its most significant drawback, and it dramatically impeded magnesium’s growth and expansion into other applications. This article reviews both the engineering and biomedical aspects and applications for magnesium and its alloys. It will also elaborate on the challenges that the material faces and how they can be overcome and discuss its outlook.

“…It can reduce the need for risky and expensive surgical operations to remove or replace the metal at each stage of the patient's recovery. Specific to cardiovascular medicine, it will reduce the likelihood of thrombogenesis, restenosis, endothelial dysfunction, and other clinical complications [80,81].…”
