Abstract

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.).

Keywords: CRT, cardiac resynchronization therapy; LV, left ventricular; TPS, transcatheter pacing system; endocardial pacing system; leadless cardiac pacemaker; left ventricular; pacemaker retrieval.
