Retrieval of an Aveir Leadless Pacemaker with a Standard Retrieval
Catheter by Releasing the Wedged Docking Button Using a Loop Wire
Technique
Abstract
Introduction The docking button of the Aveir leadless pacemaker
(LP) is often difficult to access due to its inappropriate position in
the right ventricle (RV). Methods and Results We report a case
where the Aveir LP was successfully retrieved by releasing the wedged
docking button in the inferior wall of the RV using a loop wire
technique. Conclusion The loop wire technique may be useful to
change the position of the Aveir LP. This may be helpful to retrieve the
Aveir LP even in the case where the docking button is wedged in the
inferior wall of the RV.
