摘要：
A method of determining the endurance limit of an implantable medical device is disclosed. The method utilizes a mock vessel that has a compliance that is higher or lower than the normal compliance of a human vessel for which the device is to be used. The device is deployed into the mock vessel and a curable liquid is used to form a layer over the device on the surface of the lumen of the mock vessel. High pressure pulsatile pressurization is applied to the lumen of the mock vessel to cause a failure of the implantable medical device. The amount and cycles of pressure necessary to cause a failure may be used to determine the endurance limit of the implantable medical device.
