Key result
Double-orifice mitral valve was reported for the first time in association with an accessory pathway in an adult patient with atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia.
Highlights the rare association of double-orifice mitral valve with an accessory pathway in an adult patient, diagnosable via echocardiography.
No change to clinical practice indicated; leaves open a possible link between double-orifice mitral valve and accessory pathways.
•DOMV is rarely diagnosed in adult patients.•Echocardiography can be used to find and describe the anomaly.•DOMV is often associated with other cardiac abnormalities.•This is the first report of DOMV associated with an accessory pathway.
