Artery Iliopsoas

The iliopsoas artery (a.iliolumbalis) is one of the largest arteries in the human body. It begins in the abdomen, where it joins the iliac arteries, and passes through the pelvis and lower back, where it joins the lumbar artery.

The iliopsoas artery plays an important role in supplying blood to the pelvic organs, such as the bladder, ovaries, uterus and rectum. It also supplies blood to the muscles of the lower back and buttocks.

In addition, the iliopsoas artery can be susceptible to various diseases, such as atherosclerosis, thrombosis, aneurysm and others. These diseases can lead to disruption of the blood supply to the pelvic and lower back organs, which can lead to serious consequences such as stroke, myocardial infarction, kidney failure and others.

To prevent diseases of the iliopsoas artery, it is necessary to lead a healthy lifestyle, monitor your diet, exercise and undergo regular medical examinations.

The iliac cingulate artery is an unpaired vessel that runs from the inner edge of the common external iliac artery to the upper edge of the pubis near the apex of the pubic arch. It has several branches that go to the pelvic organs and the muscles of the abdominal wall. The flexor branch also passes into the thoracolumbar muscle. The main features are the presence of two valves, an undeveloped muscular layer, a sharp difference in diameter between the branches, a short distance of the branch to the sacrum and the absence of branches. Supplies blood to the chest cavity, muscles of the anterior abdominal wall, perineal skin, internal and external genital organs, prostate, vein.
