The assembly further includes an extension cuff including a cuff branch and an access port. The extension cuff, cuff branch, and access port include a bifurcated cuff lumen formed therein. A portion of the extension cuff is retainably positioned within the trunk body. A portion of the cuff branch is retainably positioned within one of the elongated branches. The cuff lumen is in communication with the body lumen. A method of extending an endoluminal prosthetic assembly deployed in a bifurcated vessel is also provided. The assembly includes a trunk body including first and second elongated branches. A portion of a compressed extension cuff is positioned within the trunk body and the first elongated branch. The compressed extension cuff is expanded into operable engagement with the trunk body and the first elongated branch.
