The case is presented of a 21 year-old female with acute refractory cardiogenic pulmonary oedema, secondary to a very severe mitral stenosis of rheumatic origin, and who was treated with an urgent percutaneous balloon valvuloplasty. A review of mitral stenosis is presented, and the treatment is examined, with special emphasis on cases of emergency percutaneous mitral valvuloplasty published in the literature.
