In anatomy, the common hepatic artery is a short blood vessel that supplies oxygenated blood to the liver, pylorus (a part of the stomach), duodenum (a part of the small intestine) and pancreas.

It arises from the celiac artery and has the following branches:

Branch	Details
hepatic artery proper	supplies gallbladder via the cystic artery and the liver via the left and right hepatic arteries
right gastric artery	supplies stomach, joining with left gastric artery
gastroduodenal artery	branches into right gastro-omental artery and superior pancreaticoduodenal artery

The celiac artery and its branches; the stomach has been raised and the peritoneum removed.

The portal vein and its tributaries.

Abdominal portion of the sympathetic trunk, with the celiac and hypogastric plexuses.

Horizontal disposition of the peritoneum in the upper part of the abdomen.
