The clogging fats in the artery walls could somewhat prevent the flow of blood, because the blood now has some blockage. If the clogging became big enough, it could block the flow of blood entirely through that artery. Whatever the case, the heart needs to beat harder to make the blood go pass the blockage.

What does it mean when an artery is patent?
When an artery is described as patent, it means that the artery is open and unobstructed, allowing blood to flow freely through it. This condition is crucial for proper circulation and the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to tissues. A patent artery indicates that there are no significant blockages or narrowing that could impede blood flow.
What does it mean if allens test is positive?
Significant collateral circulation to the hand via the Ulnar artery is not present. You should not access the radial artery for an ABG or to perform a cardiac catheterization becasue interrupting the blood flow to the hand from the radial artery could result in significant hand ischemia.
What happen when blood vessel becomes clogged?
It depends... if it's a blood vessel to your heart, you could have a heart attack. If it's an artery say, in your lungs (pulmonary artery), you could die. If it's an artery in your leg, you could get gangrene and lose your leg. If it's a vein, that's not *AS* serious, because your body usually has other veins that can take up the slack, but it's still serious. If you suspect that you have a blood vessel clogging, you should see your doctor. Depending on the situation, the treatment could be anywhere from a change in diet, to medication, to a balloon catheter, to a stint.

What if a Patient has negative Allen test in one arm what should you do?
If its Negative, you must try different arm. Because trying to get ABG on that arm could damage artery and cut off collateral circulation.
Can the body repair a severed artery?

What is the main organ of the artery?

How would damage to left bundle affect blood flow in systemic circulation?
Left ventricle wouldn't be able to contract so that oxygenated blood could get to the body tissues.
Blood clots sometimes form inside the body rather than where the skin is cut. Why could such a clot be harmful?
If a clot forms in a blood vessel it would be harmful as pressure would rise. Also, if the clot completely clogs an artery or vein blood cannot pass and you could die from lack of oxygen/circulation.
