Gall-bladder disease is rare in species other than man (Runnels, Monlux & Monlux, 1960; Smith & Jones, 1961; D. D. Lawson, 1964, personal communication; R. N. Fiennes, 1964, personal communication). Since there is evidence that vascular factors may be of importance in diseases of the human gall-bladder (Eliason & Stephens, 1944; Goldman, Morgan & Kay, 1948; Hallendorf, Dockerty & Waugh, 1948; Strohl, Diffenbaugh, Baker & Cheema, 1962), a comparative anatomical study of the gross distribution of the cystic artery has been undertaken. Interest in the human cystic artery is long standing. Mondino dei Luzzi (12901326) described a direct supply from the aorta, Jacopo Berengario de Carpi (1535) mentioned a vessel from the heart and Vesalius (1543) described an unnamed branch of the hepatic artery and illustrated its four terminal branches distributed in the long axis of the gall-bladder. According to Pare (1575), the cystic artery travelled with the portal vein. The current description was first given byvon Haller (1743)and the sites and origin of the artery and its relation with the structures in the porta hepatis have been described in detail by many, amongst them Belou (1915), Flint (1923), Adachi (1928), Browne (1940), Daseler, Anson, Hambley & Reiman (1947) and Michels (1956). However, relatively little is known of the intramural distribution, although Rubascheva (1930) reported on this in the rabbit, dog and man. Certain points still require clarification and call for further investigation.
