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]]. ==External links== * {{Medcyclopaedia|ii/g/gastroduodenal_artery}} * {{eMedicine|med|3566}} - "Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding: Surgical Perspective" * {{SUNYAnatomyLabs|38|03|02|07}} - "Stomach, Spleen and Liver: Contents of the [[Hepatoduodenal ligament]]" * {{SUNYAnatomyImage|7|8|99}} * {{NormanAnatomy|celiactrunk}} {{Arteries of thorax and abdomen}} [[Category:Arteries]] [[Category:Abdomen]] [[fr:Artère gastroduodénale]] [[pt:Artéria gastroduodenal]] [[th:หลอดเลือดแดงแกสโตรดูโอดีนัล]]
