Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) = A balloon inside the artery inflates at the site of a fatty clog to press it against the artery walls, allows the blood to flow again.

Intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) - A sonic emitter is used within the artery to crack the calcium across the layers of thickness of the artery.

Patency - The state of being open or unobstructed

There are ways to reverse some calcium buildup (High dose Vitamin K and MK4 from one study reversed 50+% of calcium buildup in three months. Additionally, there are ways to reduce a large amount of the soft plaques in our arteries, but both of these take time.

If you are going in for surgery due to a blockage, you don’t have the option to use diet to reverse your problem. In this case, choose IVL for your procedure.

I take 1k mg of timed release niacin plus 10kiu vitamin d3 k2 mk7 to keep the plaque out of my arteries. I’ve got a little soft plaque build up in my carotids but otherwise they’re clean.

what I wonder is as to whether high dose niacin will give the same increase in NAD+ as NMN or NR. I also take those two but niacin is much cheaper even in high doses.

Sadly I’ve never seen any comparative data as to how well these various forms of b3 build up NAD+
