Infective endocarditis (IE) is a life-threatening condition often manifesting as a multisystem disease. The clinical presentations are heterogeneous making the diagnosis sometimes difficult. We report the case of a 59-year -old presented to the emergency department with acute abdominal pain. In this context, endocarditis was suspected. Transesophageal echocardiography (TOE) was realized confirming the diagnosis and the abdominal pain was explained by to mesenteric ischemia.
