This article presents the first case of fatal pericardial tamponade following immediately after- successful percutaneous balloon mitral commissurotonry by the Inoue balloon. The patient had a large right atrium associated with severe tricuspid regurgitation and this led to incorrect atrial puncture (so culled stitching phenomenon) under the Inoue method fir determining the site of fossa ovalis.
