Patient with Fabry disease undergoing cardiac surgery: a word of caution

We describe the case of a 23-year-old FD patient who was admitted as an emergency transfer due to newly discovered severe ao rtic regurgitation and suspected aortic valve endocarditis with vegetations of high embolic potential. Three years ago, the patient underwent a living donor kidney transplantation—the kidney graft lost its function 1 year after transplantation, and a chronic hemodialysis program was reinstituted.
