Dual-valve regurgitation can occur due to chordal anomalies that mimic endocarditis, leading to misdiagnosis.
Transesophageal echocardiography is crucial for early detection of these chordal anomalies and avoiding false diagnoses.
Surgical intervention is necessary to address dual-valve disease effectively and prevent complications.
Prompt recognition and treatment may improve patient outcomes and reduce unnecessary surgical risks.
Abstract
Chordal anomalies can mimic endocarditis and cause dual-valve disease. Early transesophageal echocardiography and surgical intervention are critical to avoid misdiagnosis.
