Key result
Retrieval of a 4-year-old Micra transcatheter pacing system and immediate reimplantation of a new device was safely and successfully performed in a patient with leadless biventricular pacing therapy.
Case Report (n=1)
No
This case demonstrates the feasibility of retrieving a 4-year-old Micra transcatheter pacemaker to prevent device-to-device interactions in a patient with leadless biventricular pacing.
May enable avoidance of device interactions in complex RV pacing; leaves open questions on long-term safety and applicability.
This is the first report of the management of a patient with cardiac resynchronization therapy using leadless biventricular pacing. Successful retrieval of a 4-year-old Micra transcatheter pacing system (TPS) and reimplantation of a new Micra TPS prevented device-to-device interactions from multiple pacing devices in the right ventricle. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)

Minami et al. (2020) conducted a case report in Battery depletion of Micra transcatheter pacing system in a patient with leadless biventricular pacing therapy (n=1). Retrieval and reimplantation of Micra transcatheter pacing system was evaluated on Successful retrieval and reimplantation. Retrieval of a 4-year-old Micra transcatheter pacing system and immediate reimplantation of a new device was safely and successfully performed in a patient with leadless biventricular pacing therapy.
