Introduction: Compared to other countries, studies on the anatomical characteristics of the cystic artery in the Colombian population are scarce. Objective: To describe the anatomical characteristics of the cystic artery in a sample of 60 cadaveric specimens from Colombia. Materials and methods: Descriptive study conducted between 2021 and 2023. The cystic artery from 60 digestive tracts of cadaveric specimens with no history of biliary tract disease or surgery was dissected. A macroscopic examination of the cystic artery was performed, and information on its origin, anatomical shape, length, diameter, general anatomical distribution, distribution in relation to the gallbladder, and distribution in relation to the right and left hepatic ducts was recorded. Results: In 95%, 98.33%, and 66.67% of digestive systems, the cystic artery originated in the right hepatic artery, had a linear shape, and extended through the cystohepatic triangle, respectively. Moreover, its mean length and diameter were 15.90±7.36 mm (maximum: 54.10 mm; minimum: 4 mm) and 1.64±2.30 mm (maximum: 9.60; minimum: 2.20 mm), respectively. Conclusions: The characteristics of the cystic artery in a cadaveric sample from the Colombian population are similar to those reported in other countries in terms of origin and length; however, the diameter is smaller.

Introducción. En comparación con otros países, los estudios sobre las características anatómicas de la arteria cística en población colombiana son escasos. Objetivo. Describir las características anatómicas de la arteria cística en una muestra de 60 cadáveres de Colombia. Materiales y métodos. Estudio descriptivo realizado entre 2021 y 2023. Se disecó la arteria cística de 60 aparatos digestivos de cadáveres sin antecedentes de enfermedades o cirugía de las vías biliares. Mediante el examen macroscópico de la arteria cística se registró información sobre su origen, forma anatómica, longitud, diámetro, distribución anatómica general, distribución con respecto a la vesícula biliar y distribución con respecto a los conductos hepáticos derecho e izquierdo. Resultados. En 95%, 98.33% y 66.67% de los aparatos digestivos la arteria cística se originó en la arteria hepática derecha, tuvo una forma lineal y se extendió a través del triángulo hepatocístico, respectivamente. Además, la longitud y el diámetro promedios fueron 15.90±7.36mm (máximo: 54.10mm; mínimo: 4mm) y 1.64±2.30mm (máximo:9.60; mínimo: 2.20mm). Conclusiones. Las características de la arteria cística en una muestra cadavérica de población colombiana son similares a las reportadas en otros países en términos de origen y longitud; sin embargo, el diámetro es inferior.
