The Inferior Epigastric Artery: Anatomical Study and Clinical Significance

The inferior epigastric artery usually arises from the external iliac artery. It may arise from different origin. The aim of current study is to provide sufficient date of the inferior epigastric artery for clinician, radiologists, surgeons, orthopaedic surgeon, obstetricians and gynaecologists. The...
