Sumario:An 86‐year‐old woman suffering from repeated methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteremia underwent percutaneous lead extraction using an excimer laser. Since negative blood cultures were confirmed three times after lead extraction under intravenous infusion of anti‐MRSA drugs, a Micra transcatheter pacing system (Micra TPS) was implanted 7 days after the lead extraction. Although infusion of anti‐MRSA drugs was continued for 5 weeks, MRSA was isolated in four separate samples of blood cultures 3 weeks after the discontinuation of the anti‐MRSA therapy. The micra TPS was successfully retrieved using a steerable sheath and snare at 8 weeks after implantation.
