RESUMO
The 8 years (1967-1975) experience with axillary-femoral and femoro-femoral grafts in 40 patients is presented; 6 females and 34 males, between 50 and 90 years of age, with arteriosclerosis, all complicated by chronic illnesses. The results have been satisfactory, as the grafts are functioning from 2 months to 80 months (6 years, 8 months), most of them being more than 12 months old. Twenty eight of the 40 patients operated are alive. Four patients (10%) had infection of their grafts. In 6 (15%) the graft closed because of severe progresive distal obstruction. Three patients (7.5%) died in the first 32 post-operative days. In 9 (22.5%) the deaths were not related to surgery. The indications for placement of axillary-femoral and femoro-femoral grafts is established.

At the light and electronic microscopes, 32 myocardial biopsies from 16 patients were studied. The study was carried out in 8 children under 5 years of age and in 8 adults over 20 years during open-sky surgery of the chest done to correct some congenital or acquired heart anomaly. Control biopsies were taken before the application of extracorporeal circulation and a second biopsy, after an average of 30 minutes of hypoxia, which was the time taken to perform the surgical correction of the anomaly. Following extracorporeal circulation, all cases showed mitochondrial mutuations, such as disorganization of their crests, marked distension, from edema to emptiness due to hypoxia. The lack of glycogen, the disorganization of the myofibrillae, decreased neatness of the sarcoplasm and nuclei with marginated chromation, were all preceded by mitochondrial mutations due to oxidative phosphorylation deficiency.
