Sampson artery
The Sampson artery runs under the round ligament.[1]
It represents the anastomosis of the uterine artery and ovarian artery.[2]
It is named for John A. Sampson.
Clinical significance
It is considered an insignificant artery that is dissected during hysterectomies.
It can be the source of hemoperitoneum,[3] but only rarely does it pose a hemodynamic risk to the patient if severed and it is easily cauterized or sutured to prevent bleeding.
