Résumé
Both a multicenter cohort and a post-approval registry of the Micra™ transcatheter pacemaker (Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN, USA) reported high successful implantation rates (>99%) with long-term stability of electrical performance and long-term safety. Therefore, there has been little discussion on the causes of cases of failure in terms of anatomical findings. We report a case of failure of implantation of the Micra because of a tortuous inferior vena cava (IVC) secondary to severe scoliosis. A retrospective assessment of 3D reconstructed computed tomography imaging could visualize the configuration of the IVC-right atrium junction. A preprocedural anatomical assessment may help to predict the implantability of the transcatheter leadless pacemaker or to image the manipulation of the delivery catheter. <
