Dialysis vascular access associated coronary‐subclavian steal or hypoperfusion syndrome is an uncommon but potentially life threatening condition. Awareness of this syndrome is important in the management of vascular access in hemodialysis patients. We report a case of dialysis vascular access associated coronary‐subclavian steal syndrome and review the literature on its pathogenesis and therapeutic implications.
