This is a weird question but its about how to cure aneurysms
Why can't we use vitamin k2 and liquid Advil to swab the artery walls to shrink the aneurysms? I've already asked Ai and my professors. Ai said that it possibly could work its just that it would be slow and not a common way to treat them. My neuroscientist professor said he really doesn't know if you can do that why or why not.

The short answer is: we can’t “swab” or directly apply vitamin K2 or any liquid medication like Advil to the inside of arteries because of how the vascular system and aneurysm structure work.
Aneurysms occur when the wall of a blood vessel—usually an artery—weakens and bulges outward. That wall isn’t something you can reach or coat with a substance; it’s an internal layer of tissue under high pressure, constantly bathed in fast-moving blood. Anything introduced directly into that space would either be swept away instantly or damage the lining, risking rupture or clotting.
Vitamin K2 helps regulate calcium deposition—it keeps calcium out of soft tissues like arteries and guides it to bones. It’s valuable for long-term vascular health, but it cannot reverse or shrink an aneurysm once the vessel wall has already weakened and dilated. Advil (ibuprofen) is an anti-inflammatory drug, but it has no structural effect on arterial tissue and can actually increase bleeding risk, which is dangerous in anyone with a known aneurysm.
The real problem in aneurysms isn’t inflammation or calcium; it’s that the collagen and elastin fibers in the arterial wall have been structurally compromised. Once that integrity is lost, only surgical or endovascular repair (like a graft, clip, or stent) can truly stabilize it.
When I had my own Type A aortic dissection in 2015, surgeons used a Dacron graft to replace the damaged section of my aorta. No medication could have made that wall strong again. I wish there were a vitamin or topical treatment that could, but the physics and biology of blood flow make that impossible. Peace.
