Peer Review Status: Internally Peer Reviewed

The vaginal or the vagino-vesical in females corresponds to the prostatic/vesical artery in males.

This artery may arise from several sources, Dubreuil-Chambardel found the following:

1. Arises from the internal iliac in	40% of cases,
2. Arises from a common trunk with the middle rectal	19%
3. Arises from a common trunk with the uterine	16%, and
4. In the remainder, the artery is doubles	25%.

From Dubreuil-Chambardel, 1925.

Levi noted the duplication of the vaginal artery in 21 of 50 cases studied.
