“…Although uncommon, cardiovascular issues, such as pulmonary edema/MS (4.2%) and pulmonary artery embolism (2.6%), are clinically significant causes of hemoptysis [ 6 ]. The primary cause of MS globally is rheumatic fever [ 1 ]. Calcification of the mitral valve leaflets and congenital heart disease can also cause MS, but they are less frequent causes.…”

“…Rheumatic disease occurrence is declining in developed nations, with an estimated rate of 1 in 100,000. Nonetheless, the prevalence of this disease is greater in developing countries than in the United States [ 1 ]. The bioprosthetic valve is more prone to structural valve degeneration, resulting in obstruction and stenosis, as compared to the native valve [ 7 ].…”

“…Mitral stenosis (MS) is a type of heart valve disease that occurs when the mitral valve’s opening narrows. The primary cause of this condition is rheumatic fever [ 1 ]. The incidence of rheumatic fever is decreasing in developed countries.…”

“…The incidence of rheumatic fever is decreasing in developed countries. The prevalence of rheumatic MS is higher in developing countries compared to the United States [ 1 ]. Patients with MS exhibit symptoms caused by reduced blood flow over the valve, leading to congestion and higher pressures in the pulmonary circulation.…”

Mitral stenosis (MS) is not a common entity in modern-day medicine, especially in developed countries, as the most common etiology is still rheumatic fever. MS can present mainly with a wide range of cardiac symptoms. However, infrequently, MS can cause extra-cardiac symptoms as well. We present a case report of a patient with severe bioprosthetic mitral valve stenosis with intermittent hemoptysis and cardiogenic shock. We aim to report this case to remind clinicians about this uncommon but significant cause of hemoptysis. This case report also emphasizes the importance of utilizing a team approach while treating patients with severe MS, especially if they have serious complications that could be life-threatening. We also aim to add to the current literature by reporting this case.
