Novel Endovascular Techniques for Dialysis Access-Associated Steal Syndrome (DASS)

End-stage renal disease patients with arteriovenous fistula (AVF) encounter many vascular risks related to reduced or increased arteriovenous fistula flow. Dialysis access-associated steal syndrome is one of the devastating complications that may lead to limb loss. Multiple vascular techniques (surg...

Description
Summary:End-stage renal disease patients with arteriovenous fistula (AVF) encounter many vascular risks related to reduced or increased arteriovenous fistula flow. Dialysis access-associated steal syndrome is one of the devastating complications that may lead to limb loss. Multiple vascular techniques (surgical and endovascular) can be used to correct this complication. In this article, we present two endovascular approaches. One approach uses a stent graft covering two thirds of anastomosis for arteriovenous fistulas to generate artificial stenosis and divert more flow to the hand. The other approach applies Supera® stent jailing to the arteriovenous fistula to divert more flow to the hand. Over 12 months of follow up, there was no clinical manifestation of dialysis access-associated steal syndrome and the AV fistula continued to function.
