The artery of the round ligament of the uterus, also known as Sampson's artery,[2][3] is a branch of the inferior epigastric artery.[4] It runs under, and supplies, the round ligament of the uterus.[5] It constitutes an anastomosis of the uterine artery and ovarian artery.[6] It was originally named after John A. Sampson (1873–1946), an American gynecologist who studied endometriosis.[7]
