Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To compare low dose (1mg) pitavastatin and high dose (4mg) pitavastatin on neointimal hyperplasia and atherosclerosis progression by using optical coherence tomography (OCT) and near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) at 12 months follow-up and on clinical adverse cardiovascular events during 3-year follow-up.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

* Patients with non-ST elevation ACS will be randomized into pitavastatin 1mg or 4mg after everolimus-eluting stent implantation with OCT and NIRS study.
* 12 months follow-up coronary angiography with OCT and NIRS will be performed to compare neointimal hyperplasia and atherosclerosis progression.
* 36 months clinical follow-up for major adverse cardiovascular events (cardiac death, all-cause death, myocardial infarction, stroke, target lesion revascularization) will be compared.
* Safety issues such as bleeding rates, abnormal liver function will be compared
