Background: The cystic artery (CA) serves as the primary source of blood supply to both the gallbladder and the cystic duct (CD). This study aimed to examine the morphological variations in the cystic artery. Methods: The cystic artery exhibited various origins, with the aberrant right hepatic artery being identified in 2 cases, the common hepatic artery in 4, the coeliac trunk in 8, and the gastroduodenal artery in 16 instances. Moreover, the left hepatic artery, persistent hypoglossal artery, right hepatic artery, and superior mesenteric artery were found to be origins in 24, 20, 12, and 6 cases, respectively. This disparity in origins was statistically significant (P<0.05) . Results: Variability in the presence and origin of the cystic artery underscores the importance of acquiring comprehensive knowledge in order to prevent potential surgical complications. Conclusion: Variability in the presence and origin of the cystic artery underscores the importance of acquiring comprehensive knowledge in order to prevent potential surgical complications.
