Successful retrieval of a dislodged leadless pacemaker from the right atrium

This report highlights the successful retrieval of a leadless pacemaker that migrated into the right atrium during implantation.Clinicians will learn the importance of prompt recognition of device displacement and how unexpected migration to the right atrium can facilitate safer retrieval, particularly using a snare.Understanding the implications of device migration into the right atrium versus more complex locations, such as the right ventricle or pulmonary artery, is essential for effective management of leadless pacemaker implantation complications.

Abstract

This report highlights the successful retrieval of a leadless pacemaker that migrated into the right atrium during implantation.Clinicians will learn the importance of prompt recognition of device displacement and how unexpected migration to the right atrium can facilitate safer retrieval, particularly using a snare.Understanding the implications of device migration into the right atrium versus more complex locations, such as the right ventricle or pulmonary artery, is essential for effective management of leadless pacemaker implantation complications.
