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.
