Abstract: An example implantable medical device (IMD) retrieval system may include an elongate outer tubular member including a longitudinally extending lumen terminating in a distal cup that is configured to receive the IMD; and a retrieval assembly including a retrieval member that includes an elongate member terminating in at least one snare that is moveable between an expanded configuration and a contracted configuration; and a fixed-curve catheter that includes a resilient material forming a distal curve and defining a lumen in which the retrieval member extends in sliding engagement, where the fixed-curve catheter extends in sliding engagement within the lumen of the elongate outer tubular member.
