Vascular access steal syndrome
In nephrology, vascular access steal syndrome is a syndrome caused by ischemia (not enough blood flow) resulting from a vascular access device (such as an arteriovenous fistula or synthetic vascular graft–AV fistula) that was installed to provide access for the inflow and outflow of blood during hemodialysis.

---|---|
Specialty | Nephrology |
Signs
- Pallor
- Diminished pulses (distal to the fistula)
- Necrosis[1]
- Decreased wrist-brachial index (ratio of blood pressure measured in the wrist and the blood pressure measured in the upper arm), especially if below 0.6[2]
Symptoms
- Pain distal to the fistula.
Diagnosis
Treatment
The fistula flow can be restricted through banding, or modulated through surgical revision.
Revascularization techniques
- DRIL (Distal Revascularisation and Interval Ligation) procedure
- PAI (Proximalization of the Arterial Inflow)[4]
- RUDI (Revision Using Distal Inflow)[5]
Terminology
Within the contexts of nephrology and dialysis, vascular access steal syndrome is also less precisely just called steal syndrome (for short), but in wider contexts that term is ambiguous because it can refer to other steal syndromes, such as subclavian steal syndrome or coronary steal syndrome.
gollark: You can do `str:sub` and such because something something metatable.
gollark: It has built-in tables for stuff. Them being "objects" is not hugely relevant.
gollark: I mean, you *can* but people don't and it would be slow and beeoidal.
gollark: Nope.
gollark: When I update my python code on the server I have to `scp` it *and* then restart the service.
