Anatomical terminology

The cystic veins (usually multiple small veins rather than a single cystic vein) drain venous blood from the gallbladder[1][2][3] and the cystic duct.[2] The cystic veins either drain into various branches (within the liver) and tributaries (outside the liver) of the hepatic portal vein.[1][2]

Cystic veins do not accompany the cystic artery.[3]
