What the authors reported
In the first human use of the EBOO apparatus, an author who self-tested the device noted disappearance of lipomas after six treatments; the device was then used in a patient with Madelung disease and several patients with atherosclerotic vasculopathy, with reported clinical benefit and no observed side effects.
What limits this result
Uncontrolled preliminary case series performed by the device's own inventors, including self-experimentation; no blinding, randomization, or precisely reported total sample size.
Research on the procedure itself. One study rarely settles a medical question; our guides weigh each paper against the rest of the evidence.

EBO2 (EBOO) and plasmapheresis both draw blood through a machine and return it, but only one is an FDA-regulated therapy with graded indications.
