New Tiny Machine Removes Cholesterol from Arteries Without Surgery

A revolutionary tiny machine can now remove cholesterol from blood vessels without the need for invasive surgery, offering hope to millions of people suffering from blocked arteries and heart disease.

How the Machine Works

This innovative device, developed by Dahir Insaat, is inserted into the body through the femoral artery in the leg. From there, it travels through the blood vessels to the blocked area.

The device is equipped with a built-in mini camera, allowing doctors to visually monitor the process in real time. Once the machine reaches the targeted area, it is fixed in place. Then, balloons are inflated to temporarily stop blood flow around the blockage.

If needed, blood is drained, and the area is flushed with a clear saline solution for better visibility. The machine then uses a patented cutting blade to carefully remove cholesterol buildup (plaque) from the artery walls.

Safe and Precise Cholesterol Removal

The cutting blade is designed to only target cholesterol, leaving healthy artery tissue untouched. After the plaque is removed, the saline solution is suctioned out, the balloons are deflated, and normal blood flow is restored.

The result: a clean artery that can function normally again — all without traditional open-heart surgery.

Why This Is a Game-Changer

High cholesterol is a common health issue that can lead to plaque buildup in arteries, which increases the risk of:

• Heart attacks

• Strokes

• Poor blood circulation

• Other serious cardiovascular conditions

This new machine offers a minimally invasive solution to help prevent those outcomes. It could become a much more accessible option for patients who cannot undergo major surgery.

Other Treatments for Blocked Arteries

There are several other invasive and non-invasive treatments available today. One of the most common is angioplasty.

What Is Angioplasty?

Angioplasty is a minimally invasive procedure used to open blocked or narrowed arteries. A thin tube called a catheter is inserted into a blood vessel in the groin or arm. The catheter is guided to the blocked artery, where a balloon at the tip is inflated to push the plaque against the artery wall, improving blood flow.

Often, a stent (a small mesh tube) is placed in the artery to keep it open long-term.

Angioplasty is usually done under local anesthesia, and recovery is quick — most patients go home within a day or two. However, there are still risks like bleeding, infection, or blood clots.

Coronary Bypass Surgery (CABG)

For patients with severe or multiple blockages, coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) may be needed. This is a major surgery where a healthy blood vessel is taken from another part of the body to bypass the blocked artery.

CABG is effective but has longer recovery time and higher risk compared to angioplasty.

Atherectomy

Another technique called atherectomy uses a catheter with a rotating blade or laser to remove plaque. This is suitable for some patients, but it requires special equipment and skilled doctors.

The Future of Artery Cleaning

Medical technology is moving fast. New machines like the one from Dahir Insaat are paving the way for safer, faster, and less invasive treatments. These innovations could help more patients get the care they need — with less pain, lower risk, and quicker recovery.
