Distal revascularization and interval ligation procedure for radial-basilic forearm transposition arteriovenous fistula

Abstract

The distal revascularization and interval ligation procedure is commonly performed for steal syndrome in upper arm arteriovenous accesses and is rarely performed in the forearm. We present a case of distal revascularization and interval ligation procedure performed for a 60-year-old male who presented with a 3-month history of a nonhealing ulcer of his left middle finger as a result of ischemic steal syndrome 4 years after having a left radial-basilic forearm transposition arteriovenous fistula.
