A Study to Evaluate the Impact of Pre-procedural Intracoronary Nicorandil Injection to PREVENT reductioN Of decREased TIMI FLOW in Patients Who Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for the Coronary Artery Disease

A Randomized, Open Label, Parallel-group Study to Evaluate the Impact of Pre-procedural Intracoronary Nicorandil Injection to PREVENT reductioN Of decREased TIMI FLOW in Patients Who Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for the Coronary Artery Disease

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of intra-coronary administration of nicorandil on the prevention of lowering of coronary blood flow for high-risk plaque lesions defined as the high value of lipid core burden index in patients with coronary artery disease who require stent treatment.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Pre-PCI IC Nicorandil; If the lipid core burden index at the main lesion site on vascular ultrasound exceeds 353, randomization was performed. Nicorandil group will be administrated 8cc or more of the prescribed drug (Nicroandil) according to randomization into the coronary artery before starting balloon therapy.	Drug: Nicorandil; Administer 8cc or more of the prescribed drug according to randomization into the coronary artery before starting balloon therapy. The stent treatment method follows the standard treatment method.
No Intervention: Standard PCI; If the lipid core burden index at the main lesion site on vascular ultrasound exceeds 353, randomization was performed. Standard PCI group will be performed coronary intervention including starting balloon therapy without pre-administrated nicorandil.
