Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if the use of adjunctive Pharmacomechanical Catheter Directed Thrombolysis, which includes the intrathrombus administration of rt-PA--Activase (Alteplase),can prevent the post-thrombotic syndrome(PTS)in patients with symptomatic proximal deep vein thrombosis(DVT)as compared with optimal standard DVT therapy alone.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Symptomatic proximal DVT involving the iliac, common femoral, and/or femoral vein.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Age less than 16 years or greater than 75 years.
  • Symptom duration > 14 days for the DVT episode in the index leg (i.e., non-acute DVT).
  • In the index leg: established PTS, or previous symptomatic DVT within the last 2 years.
  • In the contralateral (non-index) leg: symptomatic acute DVT a) involving the iliac and/or common femoral vein; or b) for which thrombolysis is planned as part of the initial therapy.
  • Limb-threatening circulatory compromise.
  • Pulmonary embolism with hemodynamic compromise (i.e., hypotension).
  • Inability to tolerate PCDT procedure due to severe dyspnea or acute systemic illness.
  • Allergy, hypersensitivity, or thrombocytopenia from heparin, rt-PA, or iodinated contrast, except for mild-moderate contrast allergies for which steroid pre-medication can be used.
  • Hemoglobin 1.6 before warfarin was started, or platelets 180 mmHg or diastolic > 105 mmHg).
  • Pregnant (positive pregnancy test, women of childbearing potential must be tested).
  • Recently (< 1 mo) had thrombolysis or is participating in another investigational drug study.
  • Use of a thienopyridine antiplatelet drug (except clopidogrel) in the last 5 days.
  • Life expectancy < 2 years or chronic non-ambulatory status.
  • Inability to provide informed consent or to comply with study assessments (e.g. due to cognitive impairment or geographic distance).
