Plaque REgression With Cholesterol Absorption Inhibitor or Synthesis Inhibitor Evaluated by IntraVascular UltraSound

Summary

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the difference in the effect of coronary plaque regression (as measured by intravascular ultrasound \[IVUS\] imaging) between cholesterol absorption inhibitor and cholesterol synthesis inhibitor.
