An Arterial Anastomosis Stenosis Used in Lieu of Banding to Prevent Dialysis Access Steal Syndrome.

A 69-year-old Native American female with a past medical history of end-stage renal disease presented to our rural outpatient dialysis access center. One and a half years prior, the patient's arteriovenous fistula was banded due to venous steal syndrome and now demonstrated an abnormal bruit with decreased blood flow during dialysis. On arteriogram, she was found to have a 90% narrowing of her previously banded cephalic vein along with stenosis of the arterial anastomosis and subclavian vein.
