BACKGROUND: Statins have been reported to reduce cardiovascular events in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is commonly used to relieve ischemic symptoms in patients with CAD. However, there is little information on the effect of statins on cardiovascular events after PCI, even in the era of coronary stent implantation.
METHODS: A total of 1019 patients with acute or chronic CAD and modest total cholesterol levels (180-240 mg/dl) were enrolled and randomly assigned to treatment with or without statins. We evaluated the effect of any available statin on the incidence of cardiovascular events after PCI. The primary endpoint was a composite of cardiovascular death, nonfatal acute myocardial infarction (MI), recurrent angina pectoris requiring emergency rehospitalization (rAP), heart failure, and stroke.
RESULTS: Indications for PCI were stable angina in 54%, ST-elevation MI in 41% and non-ST-elevation MI/unstable angina pectoris in 5%. After 2 years of statin treatment, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) decreased from 133 to 96 mg/dl. Stents were implanted in 84% of all cases. The primary endpoint event rate was 9.5% in the statin group and 14.7% in the non-statin group (p=0.0292). Of all primary endpoint events, only rAP was significantly suppressed by statins (p=0.0027). In rAP patients, coronary angiography revealed that statins suppressed restenosis but not new lesions.
CONCLUSIONS: For Japanese CAD patients treated with PCI and stent implantation, statin therapy reduced the incidence of recurrent cardiovascular events, particularly rAP. Discretionary statin treatment to achieve LDL-C levels <100 mg/dl effectively reduced restenosis causing rAP.
