Incidence of Steal Phenomena and Steal Syndrome in Patients with Arteriovenous Fistulae
… the use of digital finger pressures as a noninvasive diagnostic modality and underscores the importance of the digital brachial pressure index in the determination of steal phenomena and arteriovenous access ischaemic steal (AVAIS). We identified the incidence of steal phenomena in our …
