It may or may not be possible, but it is not necessarily recommended. As John Little said, sending Alt+BS to Vim may work in some OSes and not in others; or in a single OS it may work in gvim but not in Console Vim; and even in Console Vim it may work or not work depending on the underlying terminal. OTOH, Ctrl+w (the standard Vim command to do the same thing) can be recognized practically everywhere, it is the same number of keystrokes, and (unlike Alt+BS on any keyboard with an AltGr key) you can even type it with one hand.
