This case report describes a procedure of retrieval of a leadless transcatheter pacemaker from the right pulmonary artery 3 days after device implantation. An 80‐year‐old man affected by ischemic cardiomyopathy and sinus node dysfunction was implanted with a leadless transcatheter pacemaker in the low septum of the right ventricle. Three days after the procedure, the leadless pacemaker migrated into a side branch of the right pulmonary artery. The device was successfully removed using two snares hooked to a tine via the proximal retrieval feature.
