Pelvic Artery Anatomy

The pelvis is the lower part of the torso. The common iliac arteries bifurcate at the sacroiliac joint to give off an internal and a larger external iliac artery.

Common Internal And External Iliac Arteries

Unpaired visceral arteries paired visceral arteries and parietal arteries.

Pelvic artery anatomy. A continuation of the inferior mesenteric artery in the abdomen. Starts at the bifurcation of the aorta and runs down to the front. It is a short thick vessel smaller than the external iliac artery and about 3 to 4 cm in length.

The major branches of the iia in men can be used to classify the branching patterns. Its located between the abdomen and the legs. The internal iliac artery also known as the hypogastric artery is the smaller terminal branch of the common iliac artery.

The internal iliac artery divides into anterior and posterior trunks at the superior border of the greater sciatic foramen. The abdominal arteries arise from the abdominal aorta and are comprised of three groups of arteries. The vesicular branches of the internal iliac arteries supply the bladder.

It supplies the pelvic walls pelvic viscera external genitalia perineum buttock and medial part of the thigh. Subtraction angiographic features of the male pelvic arteries. Iliolumbar artery ascends to exit the lesser pelvis dividing into a lumbar and iliac branch.

The remaining arteries also supply blood to various organs of the pelvis. 75 10 also generally arises from the anterior division of the internal iliac artery but several variations in its origin have been described in the literature. Superior gluteal artery the terminal branch of the posterior trunk.

The unpaired visceral arteries supply the gastrointestinal gi tract spleen pancreas gallbladder and liver and are made up of the celiac trunk superior mesenteric artery sma and inferior mesenteric artery ima. This area provides support for the intestines and also contains the bladder and reproductive organs. These arterial branches supply the pelvic viscera perineum gluteal region adductor region of the thigh and in the fetus the placenta.

The uterine artery see fig. An increasing number of vascular procedures are being performed in the male pelvis that require profound knowledge of the angiographic anatomy of the internal iliac artery iia. The arteries of the pelvis are derived from the abdominal aorta which bifurcates into a left and right common iliac artery on the left hand side of the fourth lumbar vertebra.

Lateral sacral arteries superior and inferior travel infero medially along. The internal iliac artery supplies the walls and viscera of the pelvis the buttock the reproductive organs and the medial compartment of the thigh. There are typically three branches.

The arteries of the pelvic region originate from the bifurcation of the common iliac artery into the external iliac artery and the internal iliac artery. Various branches of these major vessels supply the hip joint.
