Abstract
When we recapture the Micra system, we capture the body by pulling the tether attached to the delivery catheter and retrieve it, but sometimes it is difficult, and the Micra is dislodged and fixed in the tricuspid valve annulus. Using a single snare catheter from the superior vena cava and pushing the tines changes the orientation of the device and enables recapture.
