Abstract
The introduction of a small portable clinical instrument, the O'Malley Log 2 Xenon light coagulator, prompted a brief assessment of its value as a laboratory tool in the study of experimental vascular disease. Six cats were studied, two acutely and four after varying periods of survival up to 39 days. The results in general were similar to those of the only other comprehensive study of experimental branch retinal vein occlusion by photocoagulation, which was carried out on the pig and monkey. In particular the cat showed less acute reaction to the occlusions, but developed a well marked system of peripheral anastomotic vessels with accompanying haemorrhages in survival experiments. The status of the instrument, and these preliminary results are briefly discussed.
