May support mitral valve replacement for massive hemoptysis in severe mitral stenosis; extends case reports but leaves open need for prospective validation.
Massive hemoptysis is uncommon in mitral stenosis in contemporary practice. We report a patient without any previous illness presenting with life-threatening pulmonary hemorrhage, who was initially managed as cryptogenic hemoptysis. Once mitral stenosis was confirmed, the patient underwent mitral valve replacement with total and complete cessation of bleeding.

Al-Kindi et al. (2021) conducted a case report in Massive hemoptysis in mitral stenosis (n=1). Mitral valve replacement was evaluated on Cessation of hemoptysis. Emergency mitral valve replacement resulted in total and complete cessation of life-threatening massive hemoptysis in a patient with severe rheumatic mitral stenosis.
