Emerging innovations have led to the development of tools and techniques to perform mechanical aspiration of right-sided endocarditis vegetations. However, blood loss during aspiration, the need for veno-veno bypass, and nonsteerable catheters have limited expansion of these treatment options to more patients. We present a case of pacemaker lead endocarditis treated with the Inari mechanical aspiration system utilizing the new T20 curved catheter (Inari Medical).
