But if you sever the limb, they fix it then. What is so different about an artery than a vein.
In: Biology
Arteries are repaired all the time. The problem isn’t the repair, the problem is getting to the tear/cut in time to stop the blood loss. An arterial vein is so large that blood loss, shock and death can occur in literal seconds if not stopped immediately. Tourniquets, blood clotting agents, and arterial clamps applied immediately and with alot of pressure is really about the few methods that can be used, but again it has to be immediate depending on the nature of the cut/tear.
