As soon as it branches, it divides into anterior and posterior branches. These run between the head of the pancreas and the lesser curvature of the
The inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery is a branch of the superior mesenteric artery. [2] These arteries, together with the pancreatic branches of the splenic artery, form connections or anastomoses with one another, allowing blood to perfuse the pancreas and duodenum through multiple channels.
