Calcium buildup can be from hard plaques places by your body over soft plaques (that may even have ruptured) or from taking a blood thinner without being able to coordinate with taking any Vitamin K type.
For the first, Vitamin K and K2-MK4 were shown to reverse calcium buildup when administered in high doses. Vitamin K2-MK7 is believed to be similarly helpful, but was not used in the study that I am recalling.
I can say I succeeded in using those three forms of Vitamin K in a high dose to reverse my Coronary Calcium score from the 80s to 0. That supplement is called Koncentrated K, and it comes pretty close to what the study used on lab mice. I just took it for a couple months, but continued a normal dose K supplement after that.
Before trying such changes out, talk with your doctor.
Do note that buildup like that without using a blood thinner means you are eating in a way that is damaging your blood vessels. There are dietary approached to reverse some of those underlying soft plaques, but even with the Ornish diet, they can only reverse things so much. Your endothelium (inner lining of your blood vessels) is damaged.
There are supplements that do help quite a bit more, and these things have been previously posted, but include fucoidan and other supplements.
A supplement called “Arterosil” helped, too.
I take K2 (along with supplemental D3 and magnesium) to help clear Ca buildup and to keep things more flexible.
Personally, I stay away from statins, as they can have some undesirable side effects.
(I'm not a doc, and none of the above is advice. Just info for you to read and help with your own DD.)
Bkmk.
If there was calcium deposited in the aorta, it was almost certainly in the brain’s arteries as well. Surely this would be the cause of the dementia, not the the aortic calcium. Perhaps an aortic scan could be used as an indicator . . . (I also take D3 + K2 and magnesium, but not supplemental calcium.)
What’s the young women’s excuse...?

Another supplement with studies behind it is called “NanobacTX,” and it gets rid of coronary calcium and the apparent bacteria that can sometimes cause calcifications.
