| Left gastroepiploic artery | |
|---|---|
 The celiac artery and its branches; the liver has been raised, and the lesser omentum and anterior layer of the greater omentum removed. (Left gastroepiploic artery visible at lower right.) | |
 Right and left gastroomental is at #4. | |

| Source | Splenic artery |
| Vein | Left gastroepiploic vein |
| Supplies | Greater curvature of the stomach |

| Anatomical terminology | |
The left gastroepiploic artery (or left gastro-omental artery), the largest branch of the splenic artery, runs from left to right about a finger’s breadth or more from the greater curvature of the stomach, between the layers of the greater omentum, and anastomoses with the right gastroepiploic (a branch of the right gastro-duodenal artery originating from the hepatic branch of the Coeliac trunk).
In its course it distributes:
- "Gastric branches": several ascending branches to both surfaces of the stomach;
- "Omental branches": descend to supply the greater omentum and anastomose with branches of the middle colic.
