Vesical arteries explained

Vesical arteries are variable in number. They supply the bladder and terminal ureter. The two most prominent are the superior vesical artery and the inferior vesical artery.[1] The superior vesical artery comes off of the internal iliac artery and sometimes the umbilical artery.[2] The inferior vesical artery comes off of the internal iliac artery.[3] [4] The inferior vesical artery is a pelvic branch of the internal iliac artery in men; and in women it branches from the vaginal artery.[5] This literature has been reviewed recently with observations of variation in pelvic vascularization and the close relationship between vaginal and bladder vascularization in women.[6]
