Surgical procedures as (banding or fistula ligation) to manage this issue have proved to be entirely unsatisfactory because of loss of the recently created access through ligation or attempted salvage by increasing resistance within the fistula. Objective: To determine the results of DRIL technique in treating steal syndrome in CRF patients.
