The gastroduodenal artery can be the source of a significant gastrointestinal bleed, which may arise as a complication of peptic ulcer disease.Because of its close relationship to the posteromedial wall of the second part of the duodenum, deeply penetrating ulcers or tumours of the duodenum may cause torrential bleeding from the gastroduodenal ‘artery of haemorrhage'. [1]
From this first set of arches branches arise, which unite with similar branches from above and below and thus a second series of arches is formed; from the lower branches of the artery, a third, a fourth, or even a fifth series of arches may be formed, diminishing in size the nearer they approach the intestine.
Branch Details hepatic artery proper: supplies the gallbladder via the cystic artery and the liver via the left and right hepatic arteries gastroduodenal artery: branches into the right gastroepiploic artery and superior pancreaticoduodenal artery: right gastric artery: branches to supply the lesser curvature of the stomach inferiorly
It is a branch of the gastroduodenal artery, which most commonly arises from the common hepatic artery of the celiac trunk, although there are numerous variations of the origin of the gastroduodenal artery. [1] The pancreaticoduodenal artery divides into two branches as it descends, an anterior and posterior branch.

The right gastroepiploic artery (or right gastro-omental artery) is one of the two terminal branches of the gastroduodenal artery.It runs from right to left along the greater curvature of the stomach, between the layers of the greater omentum, anastomosing with the left gastroepiploic artery, a branch of the splenic artery.
fibular artery (sometimes from popliteal artery) communicating branch to the anterior tibial artery; perforating branch to the posterior tibial artery; medial plantar artery; lateral plantar artery; sural artery; medial superior genicular artery.

The transition between these sources is important as it demarcates the foregut from the midgut. Proximal to the 2nd part of the duodenum (approximately at the major duodenal papilla – where the bile duct enters) the arterial supply is from the gastroduodenal artery and its branch the superior pancreaticoduodenal artery.
