I don't think (but could be wrong) that LDL particle A & B is the same thing as Apo A & Apo B. The Apo A was addressed at the bottom portion of the article you listed, but not Apo B.

Unless I'm reading the article wrong...but then why would they specifically list Apo A if it was the same thing as LDL particle A?

Statins are still used for Apo A (with limited effectiveness) and also estrogen. I don't think estrogen would be indicated for someone with clotting/stroke history.
