We report a case of successful implantation of a subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator in a young patient with severe pectus excavatum presenting with out-of-hospital ventricular fibrillation arrest who was recently surgically repaired with a MIRPE–Nuss procedure. No complications in lead positioning were observed, and the device was tested to determine that it functioned properly.
