Abstract
A case is reported of prosthetic mitral valve obstruction in a patient who had had three hospital admissions with massive hemoptysis. A diagnosis was finally made after two-dimensional echocardiography with Doppler and cardiac catheterization were performed. The patient was successfully treated with re-replacement of the valve. Any new pulmonary or cardiac symptom in a patient with a prosthetic valve requires prompt evaluation and treatment.
