Structure

The right gastric vein passes right along the lesser curvature of the stomach to the pylorus.[1][2] Once there, it joins onto the portal vein before the duodenum.[1][2] The prepyloric vein is the last connecting branch onto the right gastric vein, marking the end of the stomach, and draining the proximal part of the duodenum.[1]

Function

The right gastric vein drains deoxygenated blood from the lesser curvature of the stomach.[1]
