A Randomized Trial of Creatine-kinase Leak After Rosuvastatin in Elective Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (CLEAR-PCI).

Objectives: To determine the impact of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) performed at the same time of the peak concentration of rosuvastatin to reduce periprocedural myocardial infarction (PMI).

Background: Prior studies suggest that a high dose of statin before PCI reduce periprocedural myocardial infarction. However, there is no information regarding the elective PCI performed at the time of the peak of statin concentration to reduce PMI.
