Brief Summary:
This pilot study aims to evaluate whether a single dose of PCSK9 inhibitor administered after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) can improve long-term cardiovascular outcomes in patients with high post-PCI lipid core burden, as assessed by NIRS-IVUS. The study will assess major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) over a 12-month follow-up period.
Detailed Description:
Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains a leading cause of death worldwide, and while PCI has improved clinical outcomes, residual cardiovascular risk persists, especially in patients with lipid-rich plaques. Near-infrared spectroscopy combined with intravascular ultrasound (NIRS-IVUS) allows for the detection of lipid core burden, and high post-PCI LCBI values have been associated with worse prognosis.
This single-center, prospective, randomized pilot study (HANYANG-PICK) investigates the impact of a single dose of PCSK9 inhibitor administered immediately after PCI in patients with high post-PCI LCBI. The intervention group will receive the PCSK9 inhibitor, and the control group will undergo standard therapy. The primary endpoint is the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) at 12 months. The study is designed to inform the feasibility of a larger trial and to explore the potential of PCSK9 inhibitors for early plaque stabilization post-PCI.
