Successful uniportal thoracoscopic removal of a new generation implantable loop recorder accidentally migrated into the left pleural cavity and concomitant re-implantation: A case report.

In case of intrathoracic migration of ILRs, early removal by mini-invasive approach is recommended as well as concomitant re-implantation. Beyond periodic monitoring of ILRs by cardiologists, strict radiological follow-up with chest X-ray is advisable after implantation, in order to early identify any abnormalities and correctly manage them.
