blood steal
Explanation:
The explanation of the phenomenon is, indeed, a deviation of blood flow...but the translation is blood steal/ stealing of blood

AVMs also divert large amounts of blood away from healthy tissues leading to chronic ischemia of surrounding regions. This “blood steal” phenomenon can cause developmental abnormalities, neurological deficits including dementia, severe headaches, and heart failure in newborns.

The left hand ischemia and symptoms of vertebro-basilar artery in our patient were probably related to stealing of blood by the hypervascular thyroid nodule from the subclavian artery. The patient was relieved of the symptoms upon percutaneous subclavian stent placement
