ezetimibe/high-intensity statin combination therapy (ezetimibe 10mg plus atoravastatin 40mg): The initial dose of lipid-lowering therapy will be ezetimibe 10mg plus atoravastatin 40mg. During follow-up, the dose of ezetimibe 10mg plus atoravastatin 40mg is strongly recommended to be maintained.

high-intensity statin monotherapy (atoravastatin 40mg): The initial dose of lipid-lowering therapy will be atoravastatin 40mg. During follow-up, the dose of atoravastatin 40mg is strongly recommended to be maintained.

Study summary

This study sought to evaluate whether ezetimibe combination to high-intensity statin therapy will have more prominent beneficial effect compared to high-intensity statin monotherapy in patients who underwent coronary revascularization with newer generation drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation. Furthermore, the optimal OCT-based optimal expansion criteria as well as the efficacy and safety of newer generation will be investigated.
