In the present study, a novel arterial map of this vessel was made, highlighting the diversity in its origin location and course. In our studied cohort, the UA originated most commonly from the anterior trunk of the internal iliac artery (69.0%), as described in the major anatomical textbooks. Having adequate knowledge about the anatomy of this artery is of immense importance in various gynecological and endovascular procedures, such as hysterectomies and embolizations.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00276-024-03387-w","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,31]],"date-time":"2024-05-31T12:02:27Z","timestamp":1717156947000},"page":"1093-1100","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["An arterial map of the uterine artery - a tool for endovascular and gynecological procedures"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"46","author":[{"given":"Monika","family":"Konarska-W\u0142osi\u0144ska","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alicia Del Carmen","family":"Yika","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Martyna","family":"Dziedzic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Micha\u0142","family":"Bonczar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Patryk","family":"Ostrowski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wadim","family":"Wojciechowski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jerzy","family":"Walocha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mateusz","family":"Koziej","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"3387_CR1","volume-title":"Das Arteriensystem Der Japaner","author":"B Adachi","year":"1928","unstructured":"Adachi B (1928) Das Arteriensystem Der Japaner.
