Background: Twiddler syndrome (TS) is a complication of cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) implantation, caused by the deliberate or unconscious manipulation of the device by the patient himself, which results in dislocation of the leads by retraction towards the subcutaneous pocket.
Case Summary: This report describes two clinical cases that occurred in our centre, for which two different solutions were successfully implemented. In the first case, a complete removal of the stimulation system was performed, and a leadless pacemaker (PM; Medtronic Micra VR) was implanted.
