Abstract

Uterine arteries are the main vessels supplying blood to the uterus. Mainly, they originate from the anterior trunk of the internal iliac artery. Uterine arteriesplay an important role in pregnancy as well as transcatheter arterial embolization for postpartum hemorrhage and uterine fibroid management. This is a review of the English literature in the PubMed database of the anatomic variety on the origin of uterine arteries and their clinical significance. Eleven studies describe the origin of the uterine arteries and their variations in the literature. In six studies, the uterine artery emerged from internal iliac artery in the majority of the cases, either as a separate branch, or as a bifurcation with the inferior gluteal artery, or trifurcation with superior and inferior gluteal artery.In two studies, the inferior gluteal artery manifested as the main source of the uterine artery, whereas in three studies, the umbilical artery posed as itsmain origin. Internal iliac artery is described as the most common vascular origin of uterine artery. However, this review highlights that the main vessels oforigin for uterine arteries are internal iliac, umbilical and inferior gluteal artery. Nevertheless, classification and further research for this peculiar anatomicstructure is fundamental in the future.

Özet

Uterin arterleri uterusa kan sağlayan ana damarlardır. Esas olarak, internal iliak arterin ön gövdesinden kaynaklanırlar. Uterin arterler hamilelikte postpartum kanama ve uterin fibroid yönetimi için transkateter arteriyel embolizasyon kadar önemli bir rol oynar. Bu, anatomik çeşitliliğin PubMed’in uterus arterlerinin kökeni ve klinik önemi üzerine veritabanında yapılan bir İngiliz literatürü derlemesidir. On bir çalışma uterus arterlerinin kökenini ve literatürdeki varyasyonlarını tanımlamaktadır. Altı çalışmada, uterus arteri olguların çoğunda, ayrı bir dal olarak veya alt gluteal arter ile bifürkasyon veya superior ve inferior gluteal arter ile trifurkasyon olarak internal iliak arterden çıkmaktaydı. İki çalışmada, inferior gluteal arter uterus arterinin ana kaynağı olarak ortaya çıkarken, üç çalışmada umbilikal arteri ana kaynağı olarak ortaya çıkmıştır. Internal iliak arter, uterus arterinin en yaygın vasküler orijini olarak tanımlanır. Bununla birlikte, bu derleme uterus arterleri için ana orijin damarlarının internal iliak, umbilikal ve inferior gluteal arter olduğunu vurgulamaktadır. Bununla birlikte, bu olağandışı anatomik yapı için sınıflandırma ve daha ileri araştırmalar gelecekte esastır.
