What is this trial about?

Our study seeks to define the effect of each component of the distal revascularization interval ligation (DRIL) procedure on the in vivo distal blood pressure of patients with ischemic steal, and to determine whether the interval ligation component of the DRIL procedure is necessary or not.

What are the participation requirements?

Yes

Inclusion Criteria

- >18 yo patients with CKD with a functioning antecubital-based arteriovenous fistula and evidence of ischemic steal as defined above

No

Exclusion Criteria

- Patients identified as undergoing "prophylactic" or "preemptive" DRIL procedure at the time of fistula/graft creation (ie, do not have documented steal at present)

- Patients unable to provide informed consent, life expectance of less than one year

- Inability to reliably or accurately measure contralateral blood pressures due to heavily calcified vessels documented preoperatively
