Quoted from Pin_Guy:

Yes to both questions; just make sure to use an appropriate sized jumper as this is a high current connection (relatively speaking).
I am literally the only person I know of that still performs actual through hole/trace repairs as this requires both advances skills and specialized parts and equipment which doesn't make this type of repair cost effective. The only advantage offered by a true through hole board repair is that when performed properly it's guaranteed to last for the life of the board.
This is what a true through hole repair looks like prior to tinning the new vias:

I know pinsider Grumpy still does this too. I want do this on my repairs but the kit is really spendy if you only make a couple repairs here and there.
What parts/kit do you use on your repairs? If you don't mind me asking, that is.
