Study Summary

Intermediate saphenous vein graft (SVG) lesions are common, have high rates of progression to severe lesions or occlusion, and are associated with high incidence of adverse clinical outcomes. The ALPINE-SVG trial is a randomized-controlled trial of extended-release niacin vs. placebo in patients with intermediate saphenous vein graft lesions. The main hypothesis of the study is that compared to placebo, niacin administration will result in reduction in percent atheroma volume at 12-month follow-up angiography.
