Pneumomediastinum should be considered in SARS patients as a possible cause of chest pain and ECG changes that mimic acute coronary syndrome.

Our initial experience shows that S-ICD is a feasible treatment for VT among an Asian population with smaller body-build. There was nonetheless a relatively high rate of wound complications.

Left ventricular free wall rupture (LVFWR) is a fatal complication of acute myocardial infarction. Different modalities of treatment were previously described, including surgical intervention and medical treatment. We report a case treated with intra-pericardial thrombin injection that gave a favourable outcome for a patient who presented with LVFWR and cardiac tamponade, following acute myocardial infarction.
