This European Standard specifies specific requirements for arterial stents and endovascular prostheses and their deployment intended to correct or compensate for a defect of an artery. With regard to safety, this standard gives in addition to EN ISO 14630 and EN 12006-3 specific requirements for intended performance, design attributes, materials, design evaluation, manufacturing, sterilization, packaging and information supplied by the manufacturer. This European Standard applies to arterial stents and endovascular prostheses used in the aorta, cervical segments of cerebral arteries, coronary arteries, intra-cerebral arteries, peripheral arteries, pulmonary arteries, supra-aortic arteries and visceral arteries. It also includes endovascular prostheses used to treat aneurysms, arterial stenoses, or other vascular abnormalities. NOTE 1 Delivery systems are included in this standard if they comprise an integral component of the deployment of the implant. NOTE 2 Covered stents used as occluders are included in this standard.
