Abstract:Objective To evaluate the effect of sequential treatment with atorvastatin calcium on the progression of coronary artery disease using quantitative coronary angiography(QCA) in patients who underwent percutaneous coronary interventions(PCI).Methods Fifty-six patients who underwent PCI were randomly divided into observation group and control group,with 28 patients in each group.The observation group was given conventional medication and sequential treatment with atorvastatin calcium(atorvastatin calcium 40 mg every night for 3 months,and then 20 mg every night).The control group only received simvastatin 20 mg every night.Coronary angiography was performed again 6-9 months after PCI and coronary artery lesions were evaluated by QCA.Results Coronary artery lesions significantly progressed in control group,compared with observation group(P<0.05).Conclusion Sequential treatment with atorvastatin calcium can delay the progression of coronary artery disease after PCI. 更多还原
