Conditions: Coronary Arterial Disease (CAD), Vulnerable Coronary Plaques, Thin-cap fIbroatheroma, Acute Coronary Syndromes (ACS)
Sex: All
Ages: 18 Years – 80 Years
Healthy volunteers: No
Phase: PHASE4
Enrollment: 2190

Location: Beijing Anzhen Hospital Beijing Beijing Municipality
Summary
The aim of this clinical trial is to explore the optimal preventative treatment strategy for non-flow-limiting vulnerable plaques. The main question it aims to answer is:
Can interventional therapy further improve the outcome of non-flow-limiting vulnerable plaques on top of optimal pharmacologic therapy?
Researchers will randomly assign patients who meet the inclusion criteria to preventative intervention plus optimal drug therapy (experimental group) or optimal drug therapy alone (control group).
Participants will:
Assigned to the control group: optimized drug therapy consisting of lifestyle improvement and intensive drug therapy including high-dose statin or other therapy to achieve target levels (low-density lipoprotein cholesterol \
