  • Title: Percutaneous placement of a constrained stent for the treatment of dialysis associated arteriovenous graft steal syndrome.
    Author: Zangan SM, Van Ha TG.
    Journal: J Vasc Access; 2007; 8(4):228-30. PubMed ID: 18161666.
    Abstract:
    Though rare, dialysis associated steal syndrome (DASS) can cause debilitating symptoms. Surgical revision of the dialysis access is typically required. We describe a percutaneous technique to alleviate steal syndrome utilizing a constrained stent within an arteriovenous graft. A brief review of the incidence, pathophysiology, and standard treatment of DASS is also provided.
