Summary Cardiomyopathy is a frequent complication in propionic acidemia. It is mostly rapidly fatal and independent of the metabolic control or medical intervention. Here, we present the reversal of a severe cardiomyopathy after liver transplantation in a patient with propionic acidemia and the long‐term stability after ten years. Liver transplantation in patients with propionic acidemia may be considered a valid and long‐lasting treatment when cardiomyopathy is progressive and unresponsive to medical therapy.
