Although there are many references for "supply area" (probably from non-native speakers), I completely agree with Richard Benham

neutral  Richard Benham: I am sure you have the right idea here, but I don't think your suggestion would be interpreted that way in English: it suggests rather that the artery is supplied by a large area. (That's silly given what arteries do, but it's the impression it creates.)
