Revision using distal inflow

Revision Using Distal Inflow (RUDI)[1] is a surgical treatment for Dialysis-associated Steal Syndrome.

History

RUDI was first proposed by David J. Minion and colleagues in 2005.

Procedure

The fistula is ligated at a location slightly proximal to the anastomosis. A bypass to the venous outflow is then created from a distal arterial source.
