The inferior epigastric artery is a branch of the external iliac artery that supplies blood to the lower abdominal wall and the pubic region. Some synonyms for the inferior epigastric artery include the deep epigastric artery, the iliopubic artery, or the hypogastric artery. It is an essential anatomical structure that plays a vital role in maintaining the blood flow to the abdominal organs. Knowledge of the inferior epigastric artery and its potential complications, such as abdominal wall hematomas, is critical for surgical procedures such as hernia repair. Further research is necessary to better understand the functions and potential pathology of this crucial artery.
