Rationale and design of a randomized controlled trial: The effect of intensive lipid-lowering therapy with PCSK9 inhibitor on endothelial-coverage of stent strut after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS): Optical coherence tomography (OCT) study (PIECES-OCT study)
Background: For the patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) for at least 1 year is recommended in the guidelines to minimize the risk of stent thrombosis.
