INDICATIONS FOR USE IN THE U.S.: Iliac Branch and Internal Iliac Components. The GORE® EXCLUDER® Iliac Branch Endoprosthesis (IBE) is intended to be used with the GORE® EXCLUDER® AAA Endoprosthesis or the GORE® EXCLUDER® Conformable AAA Endoprosthesis to isolate the common iliac artery from systemic blood flow and preserve blood flow in the external iliac and internal iliac arteries in patients with a common iliac or aortoiliac aneurysm, who have appropriate anatomy, including: adequate iliac/ femoral access; minimum common iliac diameter of 17 mm at the proximal implantation zone of the IBE; external Iliac artery treatment diameter range of 6.5–25 mm and seal zone length of at least 10 mm; internal iliac artery treatment diameter range of 6.5–13.5 mm and seal zone length of at least 10 mm; adequate length from the lowest major renal artery to the internal iliac artery to accommodate the total endoprosthesis length, calculated by adding the minimum lengths of required components, taking into account appropriate overlaps between components. GORE® EXCLUDER® AAA Endoprosthesis Components used in conjunction with GORE® EXCLUDER® Iliac Branch Endoprosthesis. Trunk-Ipsilateral Leg Component. The Trunk-Ipsilateral Leg is intended to provide proximal seal and fixation for the endovascular repair of the aneurysm. For more information on the Trunk-Ipsilateral Leg Component indications for use and deployment, see the GORE® EXCLUDER® AAA Endoprosthesis Instructions for Use. Contralateral Leg Endoprosthesis Component. The Contralateral Leg Endoprosthesis is intended to bridge the GORE® EXCLUDER® Device Trunk-Ipsilateral Component to the GORE® EXCLUDER® Iliac Branch Endoprosthesis following deployment of the GORE® EXCLUDER® Iliac Branch Endoprosthesis. Additionally, the Contralateral Leg Endoprosthesis is intended to be used for distal extension of the Iliac Branch Component in the external iliac artery. The Iliac Branch Component can treat external iliac artery diameters up to 13.5 mm. This ability to extend the Iliac Branch Component distally with any Contralateral Leg Endoprosthesis expands the external iliac artery treatment range up to 25 mm. For more information on the Trunk-Ipsilateral Leg and Contralateral Leg Endoprosthesis Component indications for use and deployment, see the GORE® EXCLUDER® AAA Endoprosthesis Instructions for Use. Aortic Extender and Iliac Extender Components. The Aortic and Iliac Extender Components can be used after deployment of the GORE® EXCLUDER® Iliac Branch and GORE® EXCLUDER® AAA Endoprostheses. These extensions are used when additional length and/or sealing for aneurysmal exclusion is desired. For more information on Aortic Extender and Iliac Extender indications for use and deployment, see the GORE® EXCLUDER® AAA Endoprosthesis Instructions for Use. CONTRAINDICATIONS: The GORE® EXCLUDER® Iliac Branch Endoprosthesis is contraindicated in: patients with known sensitivities or allergies to the device materials. All components of the GORE® EXCLUDER® Iliac Branch Endoprosthesis and the GORE® EXCLUDER® AAA Endoprosthesis contain ePTFE, FEP, nitinol (nickel-titanium alloy) and gold; patients with a systemic infection who may be at increased risk of endovascular graft infection.
