The deep femoral artery (profunda femoris artery) is the largest branch of the femoral artery, located deep within the thigh. It originates approximately 3 cm below to the inguinal ligament and courses inferiorly along the medial aspect of the femur.
The deep femoral artery is a large branch of the femoral artery that supplies blood to the thigh muscles and bones. It originates from the posterolateral side of the femoral artery and runs between the pectineus and adductor longus muscles.
The femoral artery is a major blood vessel that supplies your lower body with oxygen-rich blood. It has several branches, including the superficial and deep femoral arteries, which contain the lateral circumflex artery. Learn about the function, anatomy and disorders of the femoral artery.
Learn about the femoral artery, a major blood vessel that supplies the lower limb. The deep femoral artery is one of its branches that runs along the femur and anastomoses with the profunda femoris artery.
The deep femoral artery (DFA) is the largest branch of the common femoral artery (CFA), supplying with its branches, the medial circumflex femoral artery (MCFA) and lateral circumflex femoral artery (LCFA), the thigh muscles, the hip joint, and the femur.
The femoral artery is a large artery in the thigh and the main arterial supply to the thigh and leg. It gives off the deep femoral artery, which passes behind the femoral vessels and enters the medial compartment of the thigh, and other branches.
The profunda femoris (deep femoral) artery is the largest branch of the femoral artery. It arises within the anterior thigh, and travels deeply to supply the muscles and skin of the lateral, medial and posterior thigh.
The deep femoral artery descends laterally towards the femur, then travels inferiorly along the medial aspect of the femoral shaft. It descends deep to the adductor longus muscle. The vessel sits on, from proximal to distal, the pectineus, adductor brevis, and adductor magnus muscles.
The deep femoral artery gives rise to medial and lateral circumflex arteries that supply the femur and hip region before it dives deep into the thigh compartment and terminates as perforating deep tissue branches.
The profunda femoris artery (a. profunda femoris; deep femoral artery) is a large vessel arising from the lateral and back part of the femoral artery, from 2 to 5 cm. below the inguinal ligament. At first it lies lateral to the femoral artery; it then runs behind it and the femoral vein to the medial side of the femur, and, passing downward ...
