Because of his advanced age and limited activities of daily living, a leadless pacemaker was selected. During deployment, the anterior papillary muscle became entrapped between the delivery sheath and the leadless pacemaker during deployment. Subsequent retrieval resulted in papillary muscle rupture and severe TR. The patient later underwent transvenous pacemaker implantation and recovered with medical therapy. He was transferred to a rehabilitation hospital without requiring additional intervention for tricuspid valve regurgitation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n
