ABSTRACT
A safe and reproducible procedure is described for anaesthesia and ophthalmic fluorescein angiography in the miniature pig. Twenty examinations were performed in five adult miniature pigs. A detailed description is given of the anaesthetic procedure, in particular of the techniques for endotracheal intubation and for intra-arterial and intravenous cannulation. All cardiovascular parameters recorded during the experiments remained within acceptable anaesthetic limits. The fluorescein angiographic technique, which is routinely used in human ophthalmology, was adapted for the pig. This procedure for in vivo examination of the porcine eye is interesting and useful for experimental ophthalmic research.
