Abstract
The main objective of Balloon Mitral Valvuloplasty (BMV) is to relieve the symptoms of Mitral stenosis (MS) by percutaneous approach and avoiding valve replacement surgery. However, complications like rupture of the Aortic root or heart chamber can lead to hemopericardium and eventually increase morbidity and mortality associated with emergency surgery. In this case report, we discussed a case in which the rupture of the left atrium was managed by device closure, BMV was done successfully by percutaneous route, and valve replacement surgery was avoided.
