Abstract
Calciphylaxis, also known as calcific uremic arteriolopathy, is a life-threatening cutaneous ischemic vasculopathy. Current treatment includes intravenous sodium thiosulfate (IVSTS); however, its use has limitations. Intralesional sodium thiosulfate (ILSTS) is a promising localized alternative that warrants additional study. This retrospective study assessed outcomes of patients treated with ILSTS.
