Inferior Epigastric Vein
In human anatomy, inferior epigastric vein refers to the vein that drains into the external iliac vein and anastomoses from the superior epigastric vein. Along its course, it is accompanied by a similarly named artery, the inferior epigastric artery. Additional images File:Gray398.png, The interfoveolar ligament, seen from in front.

Superior Epigastric Vein
In human anatomy, superior epigastric veins are two or more venae comitantes which accompany either superior epigastric artery before emptying into the internal thoracic vein. They participate in the drainage of the superior surface of the diaphragm. Structure Course The superior epigastric vein originates from the internal thoracic vein. The superior epigastric veins first run between the sternal margin and the costal margin of the diaphragm, then enter the rectus sheath. They run inferiorly, coursing superficially to the fibrous layer forming the posterior leaflet of the rectus sheath, and deep to the rectus abdominis muscle. The superior epigastric veins are venae comitantes of the superior epigastric artery, and mirror its course. Distribution The superior epigastric veins participate in the drainage of the superior surface of the diaphragm. Fate The superior epigastric veins drain into the internal thoracic vein.
