Impact of Distal Protection with Filter-Type Device on Long-term Outcome after Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for Acute Myocardial Infarction: Clinical Results with Filtrap®.

abstract：AIM:Ezetimibe, an inhibitor of cholesterol intestinal absorption, is a lipid lowering agent. However, anti-atherogenic effects of ezetimibe have not been fully elucidated. Therefore, the objective in this study was to clarify the vascular protective effects of ezetimibe in patients with hypercholesterolemia. METHODS:E...
