A member asked:
What vein drains the stomach and empties into the hepatic portal vein?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Anatomy class: The right gastric vein (pyloric vein) drains blood from the lesser curvature of the stomach into the hepatic portal vein. It is part of the portal circulation. The left gastric vein (also known as the coronary vein) drains both gastric walls. It forms a loop with the right gastric vein at the lesser curvature of the stomach.
