Abstract
Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) therapy is increasingly used in patients with end‐stage heart failure. However, LVADs are associated with challenges, especially in the presence of a cardiac implantable electronic device. Although a leadless pacemaker (PM), the Micra™ Transcatheter Pacing System, can be used with LVADs, data regarding HeartMate 3™ LVAD are limited. In this report, we present a patient with a HeartMate 3™ LVAD who underwent successful leadless PM implantation after the removal of an infected cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator.
