Vasa vasorum are small blood vessels that comprise a vascular network supplying the walls of large blood vessels, such as elastic arteries (e.g., the aorta) and large veins (e.g., the venae cavae).
The name derives from Latin 'the vessels of the vessels'. Occasionally two different singular forms are seen: vasa vasis (from Latin 'the vessels of a vessel') and vas vasis (from Latin 'a vessel of a vessel').
