• Introduction 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. Case Presentation 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. Discussion This case, which has never been reported, highlights the need to a careful fluoroscopic evaluation and the usefulness of remote monitoring.
