Inferior epigastric vein
vena epigastrica inferior
External iliac vein, just above the inguinal ligament. It anastomoses, by a medial, deep venous route, with the superior epigastric and internal thoracic veins (tributaries of the subclavian), which allows collateral circulation when one of the venae cavae is blocked.
