Techniques for successful early retrieval of the Micra transcatheter pacing system: A worldwide experience.

Background: Experience with retrieval of the Micra transcatheter pacing system (TPS) is limited because of its relatively newer technology. Although abandonment of the TPS at end of life is recommended, certain situations such as endovascular infection or device embolization warrant retrieval.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to report the worldwide experience with successful retrieval of the Micra TPS.
