Pages 97-100 of “Vitamin K2 and the calcium paradox” by Kate Rheaume-Bleue, B.Sc., N.D. presents a clinical anecdote describing almost entirely reversing this condition in 10 months with daily supplement of 100 micrograms K2 MK-7 for a 69 year old man.

There's a double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled study ongoing in Denmark exploring MK-7 as a treatment for AVC: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6112404/

EDIT: There was an earlier trial, https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01002157 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4663571/), exploring MK-7 supplementation for CAC which should have been completed and the results published. The lack of published results doesn't bode well for efficacy.

EDIT: Here's a similar study for CAVD/AVC also still lacking results: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02917525
