Abstract
A 50-year-old Japanese woman with limited cutaneous-type SSc presented with severe gangrene in the fingertips of the hands and hypertension, tested positive for anti-PL-12 antibodies. She was diagnosed with acute heart failure owing to scleroderma renal crisis and pulmonary arterial hypertension. Therapeutic agents for pulmonary arterial hypertension were also effective for the digital gangrene.
