No atherosclerosis is a degenerative disease of the blood vessels that involves fundamental changes to the vessel wall like the replacement of elastin with collagen which stiffens the vessel wall.

Cyclodextrin promotes atherosclerosis regression via macrophage reprogramming. Zimmer S, et al. Sci Transl Med. 2016.
Abstract Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease linked to elevated blood cholesterol concentrations. Despite ongoing advances in the prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis, cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide. Continuous retention of apolipoprotein B-containing lipoproteins in the subendothelial space causes a local overabundance of free cholesterol. Because cholesterol accumulation and deposition of cholesterol crystals (CCs) trigger a complex inflammatory response, we tested the efficacy of the cyclic oligosaccharide 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (CD), a compound that increases cholesterol solubility in preventing and reversing atherosclerosis. We showed that CD treatment of murine atherosclerosis reduced atherosclerotic plaque size and CC load and promoted plaque regression even with a continued cholesterol-rich diet. Mechanistically, CD increased oxysterol production in both macrophages and human atherosclerotic plaques and promoted liver X receptor (LXR)-mediated transcriptional reprogramming to improve cholesterol efflux and exert anti-inflammatory effects. In vivo, this CD-mediated LXR agonism was required for the antiatherosclerotic and anti-inflammatory effects of CD as well as for augmented reverse cholesterol transport. Because CD treatment in humans is safe and CD beneficially affects key mechanisms of atherogenesis, it may therefore be used clinically to prevent or treat human atherosclerosis.

That above and in a doc called forks over knives they actually prove a plant based diet CAN reverse blocked arteries

the cholesterol plaques in the circulatory system are a patch, there's a similar product for car cooling systems where you can pour in rubber particles and they melt, patching holes in the radiator. Thing is, both can lead to clogging which leads to problems.
If your cholesterol levels are high it means something in your body is causing inflammation. Stress, food, disease, there's so many causes for inflammation so good luck figuring it out.
Statins do reduce cholesterol but then you have to weigh the risk of heart attack over the risk of stroke. Your brain (the bit that's not water nor salt) is cholesterol.
