摘要

To investigate the effect of simvastatin on the probability of restenosis after stent implantation and serum level of lipids as well as high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD).Methods 118 patients with CHD after stenting therapy were divided into treatment group (n = 62) and control group(n =56) randomly. All patients were treated withaspirin (100 mg/d) and clopidogrel (75 mg/d) while treatment group patients took simvastatin (40 mg qn) additionally. All patients underwent coronary angiography (CAG) to compare the difference of restenosis and the serum level of total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-c), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c), triglyceride (TG) as well as hs-CRP after the drug treatment for 6 months. Results The probability of restenosis was significantly lower in the treatment group than that of control group ( P ＜ 0.01 ) and the results were similar between the patients with bare metal stent ( P ＜ 0.01 ) and those with sirolimus-eluting stent ( P＜0.01 ). The serum levels of TC (P＜0.01 ), LDL-c( P＜0.01 ), TG (P＜0.05 ) and hsCRP (P＜0.01) were obviously lower while the HDL-c (P＜0.05 ) level was higher in the treatment group than those of control group. There was no death case. Conclusions Simvastatin could decrease the probability of restenosis significantly after coronary stent implantation with dose of 40 mg/d. It also has good performance on lipids control and lightening inflammatory reactions with its undoubtedly safety.
