Using Coronary Guide Catheters with the Sheath-in-sheath Technique to Retrieve a Micra™ Leadless Pacemaker.

Abstract

As the prevalence of leadless pacemaker systems increases, identifying various methodologies for retrieval of these devices in certain instances becomes even more paramount. We describe a case demonstrating the utility of a coronary guide catheter as part of an improvised sheath-in-sheath technique for the challenging retrieval of a Micra™ leadless pacing system (Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN, USA).
