Rare anatomical variation of the cystic artery giving off 3 branches to the gallbladder
Journal Title: International Journal of Anatomical Variations - Year 2018, Vol 11, Issue 2
Abstract
A routine cadaveric dissection demonstrated the cystic artery giving off 3 branches to the gallbladder (also known as Calot’s arteries). The arteries of Calot branched out as the cystic artery traverses along the cystic duct. A thorough literature review could not identify any studies that demonstrated the incidence of this event.
