Because pulmonary fibrosis causes hypoxia which further aggravates pulmonary edema & hence pulmonary hypertension which further increases the back pressure thus ultimately leading to more complicated mitral stenosis.

It is a treatment for aortic, mitral, and pulmonary stenosis
Who gets mitral valve stenosis?

What is mitral commissurotomy?
Mitral commissurotomy is used to repair mitral stenosis associated with rheumatic disease.
What tool is used to evaluate mitral valve stenosis?
Doppler echocardiography is the preferred diagnostic tool for evaluation of mitral valve stenosis
Where would pressure be caused by stenosis of the mitral valve?
There will be higher pressure in the left atrium, when there is mitral stenosis. There will dilatation of the left atrium as well as there will hypertrophy of the left atrium. There will raise in the pulmonary veins. This will lead to pulmonary edema. This will eventually lead to high pressure in pulmonary arteries. That is called as pulmonary hypertension. The pressure in right ventricle will increase. Then the pressure in the right atrium will increase. Then the pressure in the systemic venous side will increase. This will lead to right sided heart failure.
What is the medical term meaning narrowing of the mitral valve?
Mitral stenosis is the medical term meaning narrowing of the mitral valve.
How is mitral valve stenosis diagnosed?
Mitral valve stenosis is diagnosed by history, physical examination , listening to the sounds of the heart (cardiac auscultation), chest x ray , and ECG.
