A delivery catheter and a prosthesis (30) for the repair of aortic aneurysms that extend into at least one common iliac artery and do not have a suitable region for seating the caudal end of a graft system by use of a stent or other attachment device. A bifurcated prosthesis (30) is designed to be used in combination with a main graft system (10) having legs (14, 16) extending into the common iliac arteries. The prosthesis (30) provides the main graft system (10) with a place to securely seat its iliac legs (14, 16) without blocking an internal iliac artery. |
