We report a case of an infant with transposition of the great arteries accompanied by an unusual coronary artery pattern, in whom an expanded polytetrafluorethylene (Gore-tex) graft to the right coronary artery was used during surgical correction (switch arterial), with a postsurgical follow-up time of 8 months.

A conization was performed on 81 patients with histological diagnosis of cervical intraepitelial neoplasia (CIN), whom and previously a rigorous colposcopic examination. 64 patients were younger than 35 years. The previous strict colposcopic examination determined that in none of the cases were the surgical margins of the cone biopsy affected: In 26 cases there was no correlation between the previous biopsy and the histological diagnosis of the cone biopsy. The latter was--higher in degree in 9 cases and, in addition to this, in the 23 histerectomies that were performed after the conization, 7 surgical specimens showed CIN in their histological study. The non-involved surgical margins--that could be obtained in those cases with a careful previous colposcopy,--can not guarantee the exeresis of all the CIN zones. The biopsy of an atypical zone, in a colposcopic extensive lesion, cannot be representative of the whole lesion. In the follow-up--5 years maximum and 1 year minimum--3 relapses had appeared and 9 pregnancies had been diagnosed, that had not showed an increase in the number of premature labours, nor in the cesareas-rate.
