Abstract
Calcific uremic arteriolopathy is a rare, life-threatening syndrome of vascular calcification characterized by occlusion of microvessels that results in extremely painful skin necrosis. We present a case of sarcoidosis-associated hypercalcemia potentiating calcific uremic arteriolopathy in a patient with a left ventricular assist device. The patient's calcific uremic arteriolopathy was successfully treated with sodium thiosulfate. Clinicians should be vigilant in diagnosing calcific uremic arteriolopathy early since it is especially life-threatening in patients with multiple risk factors.
