Résumé

After percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs), patients remain at high risk of developing recurrent cardiovascular events. Despite advances in interventional cardiology, the correct management of residual low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) risk continues to be crucial for improving long-term outcomes after PCI. However, several observational studies have demonstrated suboptimal LDL-C control, poor adherence to statin therapy, and underutilization of high-intensity statins, ezetimibe, and proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 inhibitors in real-world clinical practice despite a strong endorsement from international guidelines. Recent studies have shown that early intensive lipid-lowering therapy stabilizes atheromatous plaque and increases fibrous cap thickness in patients with acute coronary syndrome. This finding emphasizes the importance of achieving therapeutic targets by establishing an effective treatment as early as possible. The aim of this expert opinion paper of the Interventional Cardiology Working Group of the Italian Society of Cardiology is to discuss the management of lipid-lowering therapy in patients undergoing PCIs according to Italian reimbursement policies and regulations, with a particular focus on the discharge phase.
