Native vascular access (AVF arteriovenous fistula) for chronic hemodialysis (CH) performed proximally to the diabetic patient, between the brachial artery and the basilic vein or cephalic vein, determines the risk of distal (hand) ischemia.

DRIL procedure (Distal Revascularization and Interval Ligation) corrects distal ischemia while maintaining functional vascular access, an important aspect in diabetic patients in whom vascular capital is deficient. We further describe a case of a diabetic patient with right L-T brachiocephalic arteriovenous fistula, with important ischemic phenomena in which the DRIL procedure resolved the ischemia, the patient using vascular access as usual, the second postoperative day.
