Article Abstract
We report a successful LBBAP lead implantation using the sheath-in-sheath technique in a patient with RA enlargement and a TAP ring. The sheath-in-sheath technique can serve as a valuable alternative approach in patients with structural heart abnormalities in whom LBBAP lead placement with a standard delivery system is technically challenging.

Complex Transcatheter Left Atrial Appendage Closure Under Intracardiac Echocardiography in a Patient With Repaired Tetralogy of Fallot.
JACC Case Rep

Department of Cardiology, Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen University Hospital, Copenhagen, Denmark.
Objective: We illustrate transcatheter left atrial appendage closure under local anesthesia with intracardiac echocardiography guidance for a complex patient with repaired tetralogy of Fallot at high risk for general anesthesia, with preprocedural cardiac computed tomography (CT) support.
Key Steps: 1) CT imaging and analysis; 2) vascular access with use of sheath-in-sheath technique; 3) transseptal puncture with VersaCross system; and 4) deployment of Watchman device in CT-planned projection.
Potential Pitfalls: 1) Selection of appropriate preprocedural imaging modality; 2) use of sheath-in-sheath technique to avoid kinking of catheters; 3) use of VersaCross transseptal system to avoid repeat punctures, unnecessary exchanges, and risk of injury; and 4) avoidance of general anesthesia to reduce risk in a high-risk patient.

Article Synopsis
- The sheath-in-sheath technique involves using a 15Fr cryoballoon delivery sheath inside a larger 16Fr sheath to assist in medical procedures.
- This method is particularly effective for accessing complex iliac veins during cryoballoon ablation, a treatment for atrial fibrillation.
- It ensures safe delivery of the cryoballoon while maintaining the device's performance and avoiding any complications.
Using Coronary Guide Catheters with the Sheath-in-sheath Technique to Retrieve a Micra™ Leadless Pacemaker.

As the prevalence of leadless pacemaker systems increases, identifying various methodologies for retrieval of these devices in certain instances becomes even more paramount. We describe a case demonstrating the utility of a coronary guide catheter as part of an improvised sheath-in-sheath technique for the challenging retrieval of a Micra™ leadless pacing system (Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN, USA).
