Official Title: Effect of Low-dose vs. High-dose Pitavastatin on In-stent Restenosis, Endothelial Function, Circulating microRNAs, and Cardiovascular Events in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease Requiring Stent Im

Brief Summary: To compare low dose (1mg) pitavastatin and high dose (4mg) pitavastatin on neointimal hyperplasia and atherosclerosis progression by using optical coherence tomography (OCT) and near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) at 12 months follow-up and on clinical adverse cardiovascular events during 3-year follow-up.
