    Leadless pacemakers are a viable option for patients with recurrent cardiac device infections, reducing infection risk compared to traditional systems.

  • 2

    A 65-year-old patient transitioned from a depleted Micra VR leadless pacemaker to a Micra AV device using a sequential leadless-only strategy.

  • 3

    The sequential implantation was successful, with stable electrical parameters and no complications observed during follow-up.

  • 4

    The leave-in-situ approach minimizes risks associated with device extraction, particularly in patients with a history of infections.

  • 5

    This case represents one of the first reported experiences of sequential leadless pacing in Central Asia, highlighting its feasibility.
