Heart stent patients: which statin combo keeps cholesterol lower longer?
NCT ID NCT05910476
First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two high-dose statin/ezetimibe combinations (rosuvastatin/ezetimibe vs. atorvastatin/ezetimibe) in 200 adults who have received a drug-eluting stent for coronary artery disease. The goal is to see which combo better maintains LDL cholesterol below 55 mg/dL over a year and causes fewer side effects like muscle pain or liver issues. Participants must be 19 or older and have had a new-generation stent placed.
