In the human body the femoral vein is a blood vessel that accompanies the femoral artery in the femoral sheath. It begins at the adductor canal (also known as Hunter’s canal) and is a continuation of the popliteal vein. It ends at the inferior margin of the inguinal ligament where it becomes the external iliac vein.
