The artery to the ductus deferens, as its name suggests, is an artery in males that provides blood to the vas deferens.

Course

The artery usually arises from the anterior trunk of the superior vesical artery. It accompanies the vas deferens into the testis, where it anastomoses with the testicular artery. In this way it also supplies blood to the testis and epididymis.

A small branch supplies the ureter.
