1.1 These test methods cover the determination of the durability of a vascular stent by exposing it to physiologically relevant diametric distension levels by means of hydrodynamic pulsatile loading. This testing occurs on a stent test specimen that has been deployed into a mock (elastically simulated) vessel. The typical duration of this test is 10 years of equivalent use (at 72 beats per minute), or at least 380 million cycles.
