ABSTRACT
We describe two patients with Boerhaave's syndrome who presented with chest pain mimicking cardiac pain and received heparin therapy. One patient developed large intramural esophageal hematoma as a complication of heparin therapy. The other patient had no hematoma and his course was dominated by esophageal rupture. Both were managed conservatively.
