Hi there are many treatment available for steal syndrome.
ex.ligation and banding.
Tapered graft can be used.
distal revascularization-interval ligation (DRIL) procedure also is in being used.
distal radial artery ligation, (DRAL) provide sufficient blood flow to hand.
proximal arteriovenous anastomosis (PAVA) and revision using distal inflow’ (RUDI) are also in being increased use.
