Is it possible to donate arteries for a person with arteriostenosis?
Patient: Hello, my name is brittany and i have a very serious question for you. My aunt has a very weak heart and very small arteries because she was born with arteriostenosis, the problem is it has nothing to do with a plaque formation, just very narrow arteries. I am will willing to donate some of my arteries to help her, is it possible for me to donate? Doctor: HelloI can Understand your concern for her, its not practically impossible but it will significantly increase the risk of other complications to her. As putting your vessels in her will be just like an organ transplant and then in future she has to be on very strong immunosupresants which can make her other wise ill.So that why its not done.God Bless
