The dorsal pancreatic artery is a branch of the splenic artery. It anastomoses with the superior pancreaticoduodenal artery and continues as the inferior pancreatic artery on its lower border. [1]
Anatomy
The dorsal pancreatic artery is a short artery that issues numerous branches. Its course and length depends upon its (variable) origin. [2]
Origin
The dorsal pancreatic artery usually arises from (the proximal 2cm of) the splenic artery. It may also arise from the common hepatic artery, superior mesenteric artery, or coeliac trunck. [2]
Fate
It consistently terminates near the inferior border of the pancreas, near to the origin of the portal vein. [2]
