Abstract
A system includes a filling structure deployable at least partially in a common iliac artery and an external iliac artery, and a scaffold positioned within a first lumen of the filling structure. The scaffold has a fenestration in a side of the scaffold that is positionable toward an internal iliac artery. The filling structure has a second lumen extending from the first lumen and positionable toward the internal iliac artery. A method includes deploying a filling structure at least partially in a common iliac artery and an external iliac artery and positioning a scaffold within a lumen of the filling structure such that a fenestration in a side of the scaffold is positioned toward an internal iliac artery.
