[Intraarterial injection of Tolazolinhydrochlorid in retinal arterial occlusions. Our experiences with puncture of the carotid artery (author's transl)].

In partial and total retinal arterial occlusions we have been giving intracarotideal Tolazolinhydrochlorid since 1969. In the beginning we have prepared surgically the common carotid artery, at present this puncture is done percutanously. The author describes the surgical procedure and the results. A significant improvement of the visual acuity and of the visual field was present in the cases with intraarterial injection.
