According to Rusu et al., there is no consensus regarding the terminology for these variant vessels emerging from the system of the external iliac artery, since authors as Mahato (2009) refer to the AOA as corona mortis artery in the absence of the obturator artery. The truth is that these two forms of variation pose a risk in surgical procedures involving the inferior part of the anterior abdominal wall, because vessels run above and behind the superior pubic ramus (Baena et al.).
