A 63-year-old male with a history of Rheumatic heart disease with post-balloon mitral valvuloplasty (BMV) presented with a carcinoid tumor of the right lower lobe, posted for lobectomy plus regional lymph node resection. Anesthetic challenges and management of this patient is well described here. A rare post-operative complication i.e, blood clots in the bronchus, resulting in hypoxia and desaturation was found during the extubation time. Handling such complications with a bronchoscope is also discussed in this case report.
