My understanding of how it works is that sugar molecules create tears in the linings of the blood vessels.
Cholesterol is sent to repair the damage, like spackle on dry wall.
Doctors operate, see the cholesterol in the blood vessels, and conclude that the cholesterol caused the damage. This is similar to seeing firemen at a fire, and concluding that the firemen caused the fire.
Maybe the firemen, and the cholesterol, are fixing the problem and not causing it.
I agree.

This is exactly what is happening.
