Cardiac stents are fine in MR and most others are too. As the document you have provided says, it won’t move. One did once but it seems it wasn’t related to the MR. You can scan them to immediately after insertion - I used to.
Massive amounts of overlapping stents should get people thinking a bit though.
The force from a beating heart is more than the MR exerts and the cooling provided by flowing blood are factors.
The funny thing is, most scanners aren’t what it says on the label. Scan water, get the centre frequency and work back to get the field. The most recent one I tested was 2.89T.
