DRIL (Distal revascularization-interval ligation) is a surgical method of treating vascular access steal syndrome.

History

DRIL was first proposed by Harry Schanzer and colleagues in 1988. [1]

Procedure

A short distal bypass is created and the artery just distal to the AV anastomosis is ligated.
