The distal revascularization and interval ligation procedure is commonly performed for steal syndrome in upper arm arteriovenous accesses and is rarely performed in the forearm. We present a case of distal revascularization and interval ligation procedure performed for a 60-year-old male who presented with a 3-month history of a nonhealing ulcer of his left middle finger as a result of ischemic steal syndrome 4 years after having a left radial-basilic forearm transposition arteriovenous fistula.
