The superficial femoral artery [8] is a designation for the segment between the branching point of the deep femoral artery and the adductor hiatus, passing through the subsartorial canal.
The superficial branch of medial circumflex femoral artery appears between the quadratus femoris and upper border of the adductor magnus, and anastomoses with the inferior gluteal artery, lateral femoral circumflex artery, and first of the perforating arteries of the deep femoral artery (crucial anastomosis).
Just inferolateral to the pubic tubercle the fascia extends downwards forming an arched (falciform) margin of the lateral boundary of the opening. It is covered by a thin perforated part of the superficial fascia called the fascia cribrosa which is pierced by the great saphenous vein, the 3 superficial branches of the femoral artery (except superficial circumflex iliac artery, which pierces ...

Segments of the femoral vein. [11]In the past, the femoral vein was seen to follow the superficial femoral artery a name used to distinguish the femoral artery from the deep femoral artery; as per the norm of naming veins to match their artery the femoral vein was called the superficial femoral vein.
It passes down along the brim of the pelvis and gives off two large branches - the "inferior epigastric artery" and a "deep circumflex artery." These vessels supply blood to the muscles and skin in the lower abdominal wall. The external iliac artery passes beneath the inguinal ligament in the lower part of the abdomen and becomes the femoral ...
Being protected between two fasciae, the superficial veins belonging to compartment N3 very rarely become sinuous. Thus, when a sinuous vein is detected, the sonographer will suspect that it is a tributary. The sapheno-femoral junction is tested by the Valsalva maneuver, with the use of color Doppler being helpful at this stage. [35]
