ABSTRACT
The extraction of a pacemaker (PM) lead may cause tricuspid regurgitation; however, in cases of device infection, surgical intervention or immediate PM system replacement is undesirable in the short term to prevent reinfection. We describe a case where Micra leadless PM was used as a bridge procedure to ensure an adequate period for antibacterial therapy and later replaced with a permanent PM system in the setting of PM pocket infection.
