Résumé
Leadless pacemaker (LP) detachment is a rare but life-threatening complication that may occur during implantation. While different snaring techniques have been described to remove partially or completely detached LPs, there are currently no reports of snaring a hypermobile LP that travels between different cardiac chambers. This report describes a technique to successfully snare a hypermobile detached LP by first "catching" onto the tines for stabilization with the help of a multi-loop snare, followed by using a second snare for the proximal retrieval feature.
