inferior epigastric artery branches off from the external iliac artery immediately proximal to the inguinal ligament
between transverse abdominis muscle and internal oblique muscle
trauma to the inferior epigastric artery below the arcuate line can result in significant hemorrhage (below the line, rectus abdominis is covered only by the anterior sheath (no posterior sheath))
