Abstract
The construction of various types of access fistulas for hemodialysis has been known to be followed by ischemic symptoms distal to the anastomosis. The occurrence of a steal phenomenon as a complication of a PTFE (Gortex) fistula is often serious enough to necessitate taking down the fistula. A typical patient with this steal phenomenon is presented illustrating the value of banding the graft to reverse steal without significant threat of thrombosis.
