This study is a prospective open-labeled, randomized study to compare the neointimal coverage at 3 months and 12 months and its serial changes between 3 months and 12 months according to the implanted DES and evaluate the serial changes in the proximal portions of 3 epicardial coronary artery and left main artery including the assessment of fibrous cap thickness and lipid pool for vulnerable plaques by OCT. In addition, the investigators will compare the changes such as plaques and neointimal coverage from serial OCT follow-up according to the different statin strategy.

neointimal coverage according to the implanted DES; Xience vs. Cypher
Neointimal coverage means percentage of uncovered struts on OCT. The percentages of uncovered struts were compared between EES and SES.
Time frame: up to 12month after stent implantation
