Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Steal syndrome after arteriovenous fistula formation for dialysis access can cause ischemic pain and tissue loss. This is an indication for surgical revision, usually either banding (or ligation) or the distal revascularisation and interval ligation procedure. However, banding is inexact, and distal revascularisation and interval ligation can further compromise the arterial supply to the arm. We report three cases in which an alternative approach of moving the arteriovenous anastomosis distally was used, thereby protecting arterial inflow to the hand. In all three cases, the steal resolved and the fistula remained patent. |
