If there is damage to the cystic artery during surgery may lead to serious complications, hence the origin and the course of cystic artery is important.&#13;
Objective: To evaluate the variations in origin of cystic artery, relation with the Calot__ampersandsignrsquo;s triangle, common hepatic duct and cystic duct.&#13;
Method: It is cross-sectional study was conducted over a period of 2 years on 40 Indian formalin fixed cadavers from Departments of Anatomy.&#13;
Result: Out of 40 cadavers, cystic artery (CA) was found to be originating from the right hepatic artery in 28 cases (70%), from the left hepatic artery in 2 cases (5%), from gastro duodenal artery in 4 cases (10%), from proper hepatic artery in 3 cases (7.5%), from Superior mesenteric artery in 2 cases (5%), 1 case from right gastric artery (2.5%). It was found that in all cadavers cystic artery and cystic lymph node was found as a content of Calot__ampersandsignrsquo;s triangle. In 54 cases (90%) cystic arteries were posterior to common hepatic duct and in (10%) it was anterior to the common hepatic duct. In two cases (3.33%), cystic arteries were found anterior to the cystic duct. Superficial and deep branch of the cystic artery was found in one case.&#13;
Conclusion: Anatomical knowledge of cystic artery is necessary to prevent any iatrogenic complications during surgery.&#13;
