Methods
• Mood et al. selected studies that randomized patients who underwent elective PCI to statin therapy versus placebo / usual care.
• To be included, statin therapy was required to be initiated around the time of coronary intervention, and individual outcome data were required to be collected.
• The primary end point was MI.
• The secondary end points were all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, surgical or percutaneous revascularization, and stroke.

Cumulative Cardiovascular Mortality Results
• The cumulative incidence of cardiovascular mortality in patients among the statin group vs placebo group was 0.71% vs 1.2%, respectively (OR 0.58, 95% CI 0.30 to 1.11, p=0.10).
• The weighted mean duration of follow-up was 20.6 months, and the absolute difference between the groups was 0.8% ( p = 0.10).

Cumulative Repeat Surgical or Percutaneous Revascularization
• Among the patients randomized to statin therapy versus placebo, the cumulative incidence of repeat surgical or percutaneous revascularization was 19.6% vs 21.9%, respectively (OR 0.89, 95% CI 0.78 to 1.02, p = 0.098).
• The weighted mean duration of follow-up was 22.7 months, and the absolute difference between the groups was 2.3% ( p = 0.098).
Mood et al. Am J Cardiol. 2007 Sep 15;100(6):919-23 Mood et al. Am J Cardiol. 2007 Sep 15;100(6):919-23
Limitations
• The follow-up periods ranged from 1 day to 45 months, making it difficult to assess the long-term benefits of statin therapy.

Conclusion
• Statin therapy initiated at the time of elective PCI significantly reduces myocardial infarction.
• The reduction in MI appeared to occur early and was sustained late after PCI. It is possible that the initiation of statin therapy before PCI may be preferential to initiation after the procedure.
