HI
Thank fro askin to HCM
I really appreciate your concern and I think you must be talikng in the sense of shunt that must have been palced in your arm and which is being blocked, if this is correct then just do nothing because such shunt usually get blocked soon, it would be better to remove the shunt if possible even if you do not remove this then also it does not matter, take care and have nice day.
