Right gastric artery
Updates to Article Attributes
The right gastric artery is a branch of the common hepatic artery which supplies the lesser curvature of the stomach.
Gross Anatomy
Course
The right gastric artery branches off from, in the commonslight majority of cases, the proper hepatic artery as it turns into the lesser omentum. It runs along the lesser curvature of the stomach between the two layers of the lesser omentum and anastomoses end on with the left gastric artery.
Branches
The right gastric artery supplies the lesser curvature of the stomach. Its branches come off at right angles, in contrast to branches from vagal nerve trunks, which comes off obliquely.
Relations
Veins of the same name accompany the arteries.
Variant anatomy
The right gastric artery can originate fromhas variable origins 1:
- proximal branches of hepatic trunk (80%)
- common hepatic artery (9.3%)
- proper hepatic artery (44.2%)
- gastroduodenal artery (25.6%)
- distal branches (20%)
- left hepatic artery (18.6%)
- right hepatic artery (2.3%)
The left and right gastric artery can be double as run parallel along the lesser curvature of the stomach.
