Abstract
Cardiac device-related endocarditis in the patient with end-stage renal failure in the course of Fabry disease
Highlights
Fabry disease is an X-linked lysosomal storage disorder with deficiency of alpha-galactosidase activity leading to impaired organ function due to glycosphingolipids accumulation [1]
We present the first case of cardiac device-related endocarditis (CDRE) in a 53-year-old man with Fabry disease, severe hypertrophy and CKD
A CT revealed a high-grade stenosis of a segment of the cephalic vein, with outflow through collateral circulation, and complete occlusion of the subclavian vein, probably due to presented problems with pacemaker
