[Subclavian steal phenomenon complicating an upper extremity arteriovenous fistula for hemodialysis].
We report a case of 47-year-old man with subclavian steal phenomenon (SSP). He affected chronic renal failure and received an upper extremity arteriovenous fistula creation for hemodialysis. Angiography showed SSP from right vertebral artery to left subclavian artery (SA), and mild stenosis of left SA. We consider that the course of SSP was synergetic effect of mild SA stenosis and hemodynamic effect due to arteriovenous access creation.
