The cystic veins (usually multiple small veins rather than a single cystic vein) drain venous blood from the gallbladder
Cystic veins do not accompany the cystic artery.[3]
Anatomy
Those cystic veins that arise upon the superior aspect of the body and neck of the gallbladder pass within loose connective tissue that occurs between the gallbladder and liver;
The rest of the gallbladder drains into 1-2 small cystic veins which then usually empty into either the hepatic portal vein within the liver, or[1] into tributaries of the hepatic portal venous system that drain either the proximal bile duct or hepatic ducts;[1][2] rarely, one or more cystic vein(s) drain(s) into the right branch of the hepatic portal vein directly.[1][3]
