The deep circumflex vein (Latin v. circumflexa ilium profunda, English deep circumflex iliac vein, German tiefe Hüftbeinumgreifende Vene) is a paired pelvic vein that accompanies the artery of the same name and flows into the external iliac vein.
It begins at the anterior outer edge of the iliopsoas muscle, goes around it from the outside and rises upward, crossing the medial plate of the inguinal ligament. The vein then passes lateral to the inguinal canal, bends around the lateral edge of the rectus abdominis muscle and flows into the external iliac vein at its intersection with the inguinal ligament.
The deep circumflex iliac vein drains blood from the anterior abdominal wall and accompanies the artery of the same name. It is one of the collateral pathways for the outflow of venous blood from the pelvis during blockage of the main iliac veins.
The circumflex vein, deep or simply deep (lat. v.circumflexusIliumprofunda) is a small vein that is located deep in the muscles of the pelvis and thigh. This vein belongs to the internal venous system and plays an important role in blood circulation in the body. It allows more effective control of blood distribution and helps maintain normal blood circulation.
The deep circumflex iliac vein is located parallel to the iliac crest along the inner side of the thigh in the medial part of the leg. It is considered a deep vein because it runs deep inside the muscles. The vein can be found both in the inner part of the thigh and inside the muscle, which makes it difficult to find and
