BBF is a serious complication which requires early diagnosis and well-planned management strategy to avoid the high morbidity and mortality rate. The hydatid cystic disease is still the leading cause of the BBF. In this paper we present a case of 32-year-old man with BBF who was incidentally found to have a mitral valve disease for which he underwent mitral valve replacement during his management course.展开更多
