Artery Epigastric Cranial

Artery Epigastric Cranial (a. epigastrica cranialis) is an artery that passes through the epigastric region and provides blood supply to the abdominal and thoracic organs. It is a branch of the abdominal aorta and passes through the epigastric region, where it connects with other arteries such as the lumbar, iliac and inguinal arteries.

The Epigastric Cranial arteries supply blood to the abdominal organs, such as the stomach, small intestine, colon and liver, as well as the muscles, ligaments and joints of the chest and abdomen. They also supply blood to the diaphragm, esophagus and lungs.

This artery is of great importance for human health, since its dysfunction can lead to various diseases, such as myocardial infarction, stroke, coronary heart disease, pulmonary embolism and others.

Various methods can be used to treat diseases associated with the Epigastric Cranial Artery, such as drug therapy, surgery, interventional radiology, physical therapy and other treatments.

Thus, the Epigastric Cranial artery plays an important role in providing blood supply to the abdominal organs, chest and other areas of the body. Its dysfunction can lead to serious illnesses, so it is important to monitor its condition and, if necessary, take measures to prevent and treat it.

The epigastric cranial artery arises as a continuation of the common iliac artery. First, it goes in the wide subcutaneous tissue in front of the internal obturator muscle, then penetrates the inguinal canal, located between the deep inguinal vessels and the rectus abdominis muscle, and upon exiting the canal passes to the anterior abdominal wall
