The Ovation iX™ Iliac Limbs are components of the Ovation Prime, Ovation iX, and Alto™ Abdominal Stent Graft Systems. The Ovation iX™ Iliac Limbs are comprised of a nitinol stent encapsulated in low-permeability PTFE. The iliac limbs are deployed into the leg sections of the aortic body. Additional iliac limbs may be used to extend the length of the device, where indicated.
A non-bioabsorbable tubular device typically implanted at the junction of the abdominal aorta and the common iliac arteries to reduce pressure on an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA); it does not contain anticoagulants or pharmaceuticals that prevent narrowing of the vessels. It is percutaneously inserted via the femoral artery to the site of implantation where it self-expands. It is typically made of a metallic outer mesh structure with an inner polymer tube (endovascular graft) and is typically available in two designs: 1) a single tube for insertion into one iliac artery; or 2) a two-part bifurcation design (e.g., Y-shaped tube) for insertion through both iliac arteries.
