The right gastroepiploic artery is a blood vessel that supplies the stomach and the greater omentum, a fold of peritoneum extending from the stomach. It branches off from the gastroduodenal artery, which itself is a branch of the common hepatic artery. This artery plays a crucial role in providing oxygenated blood to the digestive organs. This artery runs along the greater curvature of the stomach, connecting with the left gastroepiploic artery to form an anastomosis. This connection ensures a consistent blood supply, which is vital for the health and function of the stomach and surrounding tissues.
