Successful removal of a leadless pacemaker from the pulmonary artery via a novel basket retrieval system

Right atrial thrombus removal with use of the ŌNŌ retrieval device

“…Though many transcatheter mechanical aspirations and thrombolytic systems have been developed, transcatheter extraction of large pedunculated masses has significant risks given the lack of an appropriate device. Though initially designed to extract embolized cardiac devices, others teams have extracted cardiac tumors and a leadless pacemaker utilizing the novel ŌNŌ Retrieval Device 2,3 . To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of successful extraction of a large thrombus utilizing this device, highlighting how it has expanded our ability to successfully extract such masses.…”
