Iliac Extension Insertion and Deployment
1
Using the radiopaque markers on the distal end of the iliac limb as a
target and using standard endovascular techniques, cannulate the iliac
limb lumen with a guidewire (if necessary).
2
Determine the amount of extension required. If 20 mm or less, use of a
straight distal extension is recommended. Refer to the table below for
the distal straight extension diameters (Iliac Extension Sizes, 45 mm
length) recommended for use with each iliac limb distal diameter.

To use an iliac limb as an extension, refer to the table below. Based on
the iliac limb distal diameter and the amount of extension required,
select the appropriate extension component length.

Prepare the extension delivery system (per above instructions).
5
Maintaining guidewire position, remove angiographic catheter and
introducer sheath from access site (if applicable).
6
Load the delivery system over the guidewire.
