Vesical arteries are variable in number. They supply thebladder and terminalureter. The two most prominent are thesuperior vesical artery and theinferior vesical artery.[1] The superior vesical artery comes off of theinternal iliac artery and sometimes theumbilical artery.[2] The inferior vesical artery comes off of the internal iliac artery.[3][4] The inferior vesical artery is apelvic branch of the internal iliac artery in men; and in women it branches from thevaginal artery.[5] This literature has been reviewed recently with observations of variation in pelvicvascularization and the close relationship betweenvaginal and bladder vascularization in women.[6]
