The '''superior pancreaticoduodenal artery''' is an [[artery]] that supplies [[blood]] to the [[duodenum]] and [[pancreas]]. It is a branch of the [[gastroduodenal artery]], which comes from the [[celiac trunk]]. The term ''superior'' in its name distinguishes the superior pancreaticoduodenal artery from the [[inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery|''inferior'' pancreaticoduodenal artery]], which a branch of the [[superior mesenteric artery]]. These arteries, together with the [[pancreatic branches of splenic artery|pancreatic branches]] of the [[splenic artery]], form connections or [[anastomosis|anastomoses]] with one another, allowing blood to perfuse the pancreas and duodenum through multiple channels.
The artery splits into two branches:
* the ''anterior'' superior pancreaticoduodenal artery supplies the anterior margins of the duodenum and pancreas
* the ''posterior'' superior pancreaticoduodenal artery supplies the posterior margins of these organs
