We report here the case of a 92-year-old woman with atrial fibrillation bradycardia in which leadless pacemaker implantation was performed with a difficult delivery of the catheter sheath due to an extremely large right atrium. Using a snare technique with correction of the direction of the force on the catheter toward the right ventricle (RV) can result in successful delivery of the pacemaker catheter and stable placement of the pacemaker system in the RV septum. This specific snare technique has the potential to facilitate leadless pacemaker implantation safely in a severely dilated chamber of the heart, making this technique effective to use in clinical practice.
