A catheter system for retrieving a leadless cardiac pacemaker from a patient is provided. The cardiac pacemaker can include a docking or retrieval feature configured to be grasped by the catheter system. In some embodiments, the retrieval catheter can include a snare configured to engage the retrieval feature of the pacemaker. The retrieval catheter can include a torque shaft selectively connectable to a docking cap and be configured to apply rotational torque to a pacemaker to be retrieved. Methods of delivering the leadless cardiac pacemaker with the delivery system are also provided.
1. A catheter for retrieving a medical device from a patient, comprising: a handle comprising a snare slider;a catheter shaft coupled to the handle;a snare disposed within the catheter shaft and extendable distally beyond the catheter shaft, wherein the snare comprises at least one loop;a docking ca
1. A catheter for retrieving a medical device from a patient, comprising: a handle comprising a snare slider;a catheter shaft coupled to the handle;a snare disposed within the catheter shaft and extendable distally beyond the catheter shaft, wherein the snare comprises at least one loop;a docking cap disposed on a distal portion of the catheter shaft, the docking cap being rotatable independent of the catheter shaft; anda torque shaft disposed within the catheter shaft and selectively connectable to the docking cap, the torque shaft configured to rotate within the catheter shaft to apply rotational torque to the docking cap when connected to the docking cap, wherein a proximal portion of the torque shaft is coupled to the snare slider on the handle and wherein the snare slider to configured so that distal movement of the snare slider advances the torque shaft along the snare to close a diameter of the at least one loop and cause the at least one loop to grasp a retrieval feature of the medical device. 2. The catheter of claim 1 further comprising an interference feature disposed on an interior surface of the docking cap, the interference feature configured to engage a corresponding interference feature on the medical device to be retrieved. 3. The catheter of claim 2 wherein the interference feature disposed on the interior surface of the docking cap comprises a ridge. 4. The catheter of claim 1 further comprising a slot disposed inside the docking cap, the slot configured to engage a key on the torque shaft. 5. The catheter of claim 4, wherein the torque shaft is configured to apply rotational torque to the docking cap when the docking cap slot is engaged with the key on the torque shaft. 6. The catheter of claim 5 wherein the handle further comprises a torque knob and wherein a proximal portion of the torque shaft is further coupled to the torque knob on the handle. 7. The catheter of claim 6 wherein longitudinal movement of the torque knob along the handle causes the torque shaft to engage or disengage the slot in the docking cap. 8. The catheter of claim 6 wherein rotation of the torque knob causes the torque shaft and docking cap to rotate when the key on the torque shaft is engaged with the docking cap slot. 9. The catheter of claim 6 wherein longitudinal movement of the torque knob along the handle moves the torque shaft and snare longitudinally. 10. The catheter of claim 1 wherein the snare comprises a plurality of loops. 11. The catheter of claim 1 wherein the snare comprises a single loop. 12. The catheter of claim 11 wherein the single loop comprises a loop perpendicular to the catheter shaft. 13. The catheter of claim 1 wherein the snare is offset from a longitudinal axis of the catheter when the snare is advanced distally beyond the catheter shaft. 14. The catheter of claim 1 wherein the at least one loop comprises a notch. 15. The catheter of claim 1 wherein the snare is configured to surround a retrieval feature of the medical device when the snare is advanced distally outward from the catheter. 16. A leadless pacemaker and retrieval system, comprising: a leadless cardiac pacemaker having a retrieval feature coupled to the pacemaker with at least one flexible stem; anda delivery catheter comprising: a handle comprising a snare slider;a catheter shaft coupled to the handle;a snare disposed within the catheter shaft and extendable distally beyond the catheter shaft, wherein the snare comprises at least one loop;a docking cap disposed on a distal portion of the catheter shaft, the docking cap being rotatable independent of the catheter shaft and being sized and configured to receive the retrieval feature of the leadless cardiac pacemaker; anda torque shaft disposed within the catheter shaft and selectively connectable to the docking cap, the torque shaft configured to rotate within the catheter shaft to apply rotational torque to the docking cap when connected to the docking cap, and to apply rotational torque to the leadless cardiac pacemaker when the pacemaker is disposed in the docking cap,wherein a proximal portion of the torque shaft is coupled to the snare slider and wherein the snare slider is configured so that distal movement of the snare slider advances the torque shaft along the snare to close a diameter of the at least one loop and cause the at least one loop to grasp the retrieval feature of the medical device. 17. The catheter of claim 16 further comprising an interference feature disposed on an interior surface of the docking cap, the interference feature configured to engage a corresponding interference feature on the pacemaker. 18. The catheter of claim 16 further comprising a slot disposed inside the docking cap, the slot configured to engage a key on the torque shaft. 19. The catheter of claim 18, wherein the torque shaft is configured to apply rotational torque to the docking cap when the docking cap slot is engaged with the key on the torque shaft. 20. The catheter of claim 19 wherein a proximal portion of the torque shaft is coupled to a torque knob on the handle. 21. The catheter of claim 20 wherein longitudinal movement of the torque knob along the handle causes the torque shaft to engage or disengage the slot in the docking cap. 22. The catheter of claim 20 wherein rotation of the torque knob causes the torque shaft and docking cap to rotate when the key on the torque shaft is engaged with the docking cap slot. 23. The catheter of claim 20 wherein longitudinal movement of the torque knob along the handle moves the torque shaft and snare longitudinally. 24. The catheter of claim 16 wherein the snare comprises a plurality of loops. 25. The catheter of claim 16 wherein the snare comprises a single loop. 26. The catheter of claim 16 wherein the snare is offset from a longitudinal axis of the catheter when the snare is advanced distally beyond the catheter shaft. 27. A method of retrieving a medical device from a patient, comprising: positioning a snare of a catheter in proximity to a retrieval feature of the medical device, the snare comprising at least one loop;moving a snare slider distally to advance a torque shaft along the snare to close a diameter of the at least one loop and cause the at least one loop to grasp a retrieval feature of the medical device;pulling the snare proximally into the catheter to position the retrieval feature of the medical device inside a docking cap of the catheter; andapplying rotational torque from the docking cap to the medical device by rotating the torque shaft to unscrew the medical device from tissue in the patient. 28. The method of claim 27 wherein the medical device comprises a leadless cardiac pacemaker.
