Abstract

A 6-week-old male infant with a capillary hemangioma of the right atrioventricular groove adjacent to the right coronary artery and conduction system underwent successful resection with the aid of microneurosurgical instrumentation. The technical challenge was thought to be analogous to that encountered by microneurosurgeons in their dissection of brain tumors.
