In human anatomy the marginal artery of the colon also known as the marginal artery of Drummond and artery of Drummond (named after Sir David Drummond (1852-1932) an English physician) is a blood vessel that anastomoses (connects) the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) with the superior mesenteric artery (SMA). It is sometimes absent as an anatomical variant.
