Abstract: In the present article we report the case of a patient at high risk of infection wearing a subcutaneous ICD (S-ICD) due to previous system extractions, hospitalized for symptomatic BBR VT and underwent radiofrequency catheter (RF) ablation. Afterwards, to prevent the possible progression of the infra-His conduction disease to a complete block, it was decided to implant a pacemaker system. Since the high infectious risk, and the patient's firm refusal to implant another transvenous system given the previous extractions he underwent in the past, it was decided to implant a leadless pacemaker with atrioventricular synchrony.<br /> (© 2022 Wiley Periodicals LLC.)
