Cholesterol Removal Machine - New Invention
Educational only: videos on MedicalVideos.com are for general information and are not medical advice. Always consult your own doctor about your health.
An unnamed Russian scientist has introduced the concept of a device that attaches to the wall of the artery. It would first stop blood flow to the area to prevent breakaway plaque. A drill would then scrape the plaque from the artery wall. The procedure of treating plaque buildup could include bypass surgery, stent replacement and balloon angioplasty. Since the plaques are of different types and locations in the body, the inventor proposed using different types of cutting mills.

This video presents a concept device for removing cholesterol plaque from an artery, introduced by an unnamed Russian scientist. It describes a device that attaches to the artery wall, first stops blood flow to the area to prevent breakaway plaque, and then uses a drill to scrape plaque from the wall, with different types of cutting mills proposed for plaques of different types and locations.
Key points
- Describes a concept device that attaches to the wall of an artery

- Describes a drill scraping plaque from the artery wall and different cutting mills for different plaques
- Mentions existing plaque treatments including bypass surgery, stent replacement and balloon angioplasty
Video Transcript
This concept video presents a proposed 'atherectomy nanomachine' for removing cholesterol plaque from inside arteries. The narration first explains how excess cholesterol forms deposits that narrow or block blood vessels, then describes the device being introduced through the femoral artery, guided by a built-in camera, clamped in place at the blockage, and using a bladed cutting tool to remove the deposit before blood flow is restored. The device is presented as a design concept from its inventors rather than an established treatment.

Cholesterol is used as a building block for all cells and plays an important role in the body's functions. 80% of the cholesterol your body needs is produced independently by the body and only 20% is consumed in food. It is very common for an unhealthy lifestyle to cause the amount of cholesterol in the body to become too high, which leads to the formation of cholesterol plaque that can interfere with or even completely block the movement of blood in the blood vessels. This can lead to very serious, sometimes untreatable consequences.
Statistically speaking, a third of deaths the world over are due to illnesses caused by cholesterol deposits. We had to hear in chat would like to offer our own solution to this problem. An atheroctomic nanomachine designed to remove cholesterol deposits from blood vessels. Let's take a look at how the nanomachines work. The device is introduced into the human body through the femoral artery and travels through blood vessels until it reaches the affected area. A built-in mini camera makes it possible to control the entire course of the process.
Once it reaches the obstructed area, the device adjusts its position and fixes itself in place using clamps. It then expands pressurized tanks that prevent blood flow. If necessary, blood is pumped off and the area is filled with a transparent compound. The cholesterol is removed using a patented bladed cutting tool. We've designed a number of different models of the device for different varieties of deposits based on the firmness of the deposit, the thickness of the artery, the location of the affected area and a number of other factors.
The cutting device is designed to remove only cholesterol deposits and is guaranteed to leave the arterial walls untouched. During the final stage of the operation, the liquid is sucked out of the blockage area, the clamps and tanks are removed and a flow of fresh blood is provided. The artery has now been cleaned and is ready to function normally. The atherectomic nanomachine can save millions of lives all over the world by making the process of cleaning arteries easy and available to virtually any surgeon.
