In [[anatomy]], the '''gastroduodenal artery''' is a small [[blood vessel]] in the [[abdomen]].
It supplies blood to the [[pylorus]] (distal part of the [[stomach]]) and the proximal part of the [[duodenum]].
It arises from the [[common hepatic artery]] and terminates in a [[bifurcation]], when it splits into the [[right gastro-omental artery|right gastroepiploic artery]] and the anterior [[superior pancreaticoduodenal artery]].
==Pathology==
The gastroduodenal artery can be the source of a significant [[gastrointestinal bleed]], which may arise as a complication of [[peptic ulcer disease]].
