Abstract
This cross sectional descriptive morphological study was done to see the site of origin of cystic artery
supplying the gallbladder in Bangladeshi people to increase the knowledge regarding variation anatomy
in our population. Sixty post mortem tissue blocks containing liver and gallbladder along with
surrounding structures were collected from 40 male and 20 female cadavers of different age groups
and fixed in 10% formal saline solution. This study was carried out in the Department of Anatomy in
Mymensingh Medical College, Mymensingh , from July 2007 to June 2008. Gross and fine dissections
were carried out to study the different origin of cystic artery and its topographic relationship with
adjacent structures. In the present study, findings were compared with the findings of Western
researchers. In the present study, the so-called typical origin of the cystic artery from right hepatic
artery was 90% and in 10% cases it was found to arise from other sources. Out of 10%, 3% arise from
left hepatic artery, 3% from junction between right and left hepatic artery, 2% from hepatic artery
proper and 2% from gastro duodenal artery.
