If Minato had sealed even a small fraction of Kurama's chakra back into Kushina she would've lived. By that point she was already quite heavily injured, so it probably wouldn't have been that easy. Minato did drop Kurama on her. But prior to that? yea

Well, yeah, after they got stabbed and Minato sealed the last of their chakra into Naruto to protect the seal, there was no turning back.
