Effect of High-intensity Statin With Ezetimibe COmbination theRapy Versus High-intensity sTatin Monotherapy After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention With Drug-eluting Stents; the ESCORT Trial

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.
