Exclusion Criteria:
- Hypersensitivity to pitavastatin
- Unable to perform OCT and NIRS
- Serum creatinine > 2.0 mg/dL.
- Steroid or hormone replacement therapy
- Hemoglobin A1c >9%
- Type 1 diabetes

- Involvement in the planning and/or conduct of the study
- Left ventricular ejection fraction < 40%
- Hepatic dysfunction (aspartate aminotransferase or alanine aminotransferase > twice the upper limit)
- Gastrointestinal disorder such as Crohn's disease
- Alcohol abuse
- Known pregnancy, breast-feeding, or intend to become pregnant during the study period

Active Comparator
Active Comparator
Arm Label
Low dose 1mg pitavastatin
High dose 4mg pitavastatin
Arm Description
pitavastatin 1mg which is considered low dose statin will be administered for 36 months
pitavastatin 4mg which is considered high dose statin will be administered for 36 months
Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Neointimal volume with OCT (mm3 per 1mm) and lipid volume with NIRS (the maximal lipid core burden index (LCBI) in 4 mm segment during 12 months of treatment
OCT will measure neointimal volume in every mm interval and will be averaged by dividing the total neointimal volume with the number of the segment analyzed. LCBI is the lipid volume index which is calculated automatically by the device, and LCBI > 400 is considered high lipid volume.
Secondary Outcome Measures
Rates of major adverse cardiovascular events during 12 months follow-up
Major adverse cardiovascular events include all-cause death, cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, stroke, target vessel revascularization

5. Study Description
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.
Detailed Description
Patients with non-ST elevation ACS will be randomized into pitavastatin 1mg or 4mg after everolimus-eluting stent implantation with OCT and NIRS study.
12 months follow-up coronary angiography with OCT and NIRS will be performed to compare neointimal hyperplasia and atherosclerosis progression.
36 months clinical follow-up for major adverse cardiovascular events (cardiac death, all-cause death, myocardial infarction, stroke, target lesion revascularization) will be compared.
Safety issues such as bleeding rates, abnormal liver function will be compared
