Work Item
ASTM WK95750
Revision of F2477-24 Standard Test Methods for in vitro Pulsatile Durability Testing of Vascular Stents and Endovascular Prostheses
Rationale
ASTM 2477 methods for durability testing of stents are primarily relevant to testing of cylindrical stents and don’t specific guidance for testing of tapered stents. It is proposed to have a work item to add instructions specific to tapered stents which address the problems of fixturing and stent migration during accelerated cycling.
