This is the first report of the management of a patient with cardiac resynchronization therapy using leadless biventricular pacing. Successful retrieval of a 4-year-old Micra transcatheter pacing system (TPS) and reimplantation of a new Micra TPS prevented device-to-device interactions from multiple pacing devices in the right ventricle. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)
