Vein Gastroepiploic Right

The right gastroepiploic vein is one of the vessels that form the venous system of the stomach. It is part of the great omental vein and is located on the right side of the abdominal cavity.

The right gastroepiploic vein begins from the great omentogastric vein, which collects blood from the stomach and intestines. It then passes through the liver and connects with the right gastric vein.

This vein is of great importance for the body, as it ensures the outflow of blood from the stomach and intestines, and also participates in blood circulation in the liver. In addition, it can be used to diagnose diseases of the stomach and intestines using ultrasound.

If there is a problem with this vein, such as a blockage or narrowing, symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and others may occur. Therefore, it is important to monitor the condition of this vein and, if necessary, consult a doctor.

The vein of the stomach and omentum on the right side are given different names: by this letter I remember the umbilical vein. But let's get to the point. According to the attached illustration, the number “1” means the vein itself, the one that extends into the thickness of the wall. Under the number “2” is the gallbladder duct. And “3” is a circle into which the cystic duct is embedded along with the stomach, in which pieces of food sometimes get stuck, which cause discomfort in the intestines and can serve as a source of inflammatory diseases of the abdominal cavity.
