Summary
Retrieving the Micra leadless pacemaker is difficult due to a lack of specialized tools. This study details a successful alternative strategy using existing devices for Micra pacemaker retrieval.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Medical Devices
- Interventional Procedures
Background:
- Leadless pacemakers, like the Micra system, offer advantages but pose retrieval challenges.
- Current management lacks dedicated tools for Micra leadless pacemaker retrieval.
- Device malfunction or migration necessitates alternative retrieval strategies.
