The '''inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery''' is given off from the [[superior mesenteric]] or from its first intestinal branch, opposite the upper border of the inferior part of the [[duodenum]].
It courses to the right between the head of the [[pancreas]] and [[duodenum]], and then ascends to [[anastomose]] with the anterior and posterior [[superior pancreaticoduodenal artery]].
It distributes branches to the head of the pancreas and to the descending and inferior parts of the duodenum.
