Origin
The right gastroomental artery gives rise to several omental branches as the artery passes from right to left along the greater curvature of the stomach.

Branches
There are no named branches.
Supplied Structures
The omental branches of the right gastroomental artery supply the greater omentum.

Artery
When the artery is occluded blood is forced through the collateral vessels, drastically increasing fluid shear stress and triggering an inflammatory response which drives vessel remodeling.
