This document specifies a test method for the in vitro durability of transcatheter implantable prosthetic heart valves. This document applies to transcatheter implantable artificial heart valves, which mainly include: artificial heart valves for the left heart aortic valve and mitral valve, and artificial heart valves for the right heart pulmonary valve and tricuspid valve. The support structure of such a valve may be made of metallic materials and/or polymeric materials, and the leaflets may be made of animal-derived tissue and/or non-animal-derived materials.
