From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Lua error in Module:Infobox at line 235: malformed pattern (missing ']'). In human anatomy, superior epigastric vein refers to a blood vessel that carries deoxygenated blood and drains into the internal thoracic vein. It anastomoses with the inferior epigastric vein at the level of the umbilicus and drains the anterior part of the abdominal wall and some of the diaphragm.
Along its course, it is accompanied by a similarly named artery, the superior epigastric artery.
