Steal phenomenon
The steal phenomenon or steal effect (from English steal for "steal", "steal") or tap phenomenon is a circulatory disorder in which a vascular subsystem of the blood circulation is poorly supplied with blood in favor of another part of the blood supply.
According to the different clinical consequences, the symptoms of this local hypoperfusion are grouped into syndromes . Examples are:
- aorto-iliac withdrawal syndrome
- diastolic aortic tap syndrome
- Coronary artery withdrawal syndrome , with existing flow-limiting coronary stenosis
- Collateral steal phenomenon with exhausted subendocardial autoregulatory reserve
- transmural steal phenomenon
- Subclavian steal syndrome
- visceral tapping syndrome
