title: Treatment of steal syndrome complicating a proximal arteriovenous bridge graft fistula by simple distal artery ligation without revascularization using intraoperative pressure measurements.
abstract: This case report describes the treatment of a patient with a steal syndrome complicating a brachioaxillary prosthetic bridge graft AV fistula by simple ligation of the brachial artery beyond the fistula. Intraoperative pressure measurements showed concomitant distal revascularization to be unnecessary.
