ABSTRACT
A 25-year-old 7 month pregnant woman with mitral stenosis was hospitalized because of life threatening hemoptysis dispite intensive medical treatment. Emergency mitral commissurotomy resulted in prompt cessation of hemorrhage and at nine months follows-up, the hemoptysis has not recurred. Mitral valve surgery appears to be consitently associated with rapid and sustained cessation of hemoptysis. Therefore, surgery should be considered in hemoptysis due to mitral stenosis, particulary when the danger of asphyxiation exists.
