Micra AV Transcatheter Pacing System (TPS) represents an innovative second-generation leadless pacemaker which represents an effective alternative to conventional devices in selected cases. Intrinsic malfunctions of these devices are rare, requiring sometimes their retrieval. When performed in experienced centers, this procedure is safe.
We describe a case of sudden battery malfunction of a Micra AV TPS, which required the extraction and the placement of a new pacing system in the right ventricle.
This case, which has never been reported, highlights the need to a careful fluoroscopic evaluation and the usefulness of remote monitoring.
Micra AV 经导管心脏起搏器系统（TPS）是一种创新性的第二代无导线起搏器，在某些情况下可以作为传统设备的有效替代。这些设备的固有故障很少见，但有时需要进行取回操作。在经验丰富的中心进行时，该操作是安全的。
我们描述了一例 Micra AV TPS 突然电池故障的病例，需要将其取出并在右心室植入新的起搏系统。
此病例此前从未报道过，强调了需要仔细进行荧光透视评估和远程监测的重要性。
