Balloon mitral valvuloplasty (BMV) is a viable alternative to valve replacement surgery in patients with mitral stenosis. One of the rare complications of the procedure requiring immediate resuscitation and surgical repair is cardiac tamponade due to ventricular rupture. We report the anesthetic management of a 38 year old female with hemopericardium during BMV due to left ventricular rupture.
