About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Deep Vein Thrombosis focused on measuring deep vein thrombosis, deep venous thrombosis, post thrombotic syndrome, blood clot, thrombolysis, tissue plasminogen activator, rt-PA, Activase, mechanical thrombectomy, pharmacomechanical, ATTRACT
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 < 9.0 mg/dl, INR > 1.6 before warfarin was started, or platelets < 100,000/ml.
- Moderate renal impairment in diabetic patients (estimated glomerular filtration rate [GFR] < 60 ml/min) or severe renal impairment in non-diabetic patients (estimated GFR < 30 ml/min).
- Active bleeding, recent (< 3 mo) GI bleeding, severe liver dysfunction, bleeding diathesis.
- Recent (< 3 mo) internal eye surgery or hemorrhagic retinopathy; recent (< 10 days) major surgery, cataract surgery, trauma, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, obstetrical delivery, or other invasive procedure.
- History of stroke or intracranial/intraspinal bleed, tumor, vascular malformation, aneurysm.
- Active cancer (metastatic, progressive, or treated within the last 6 months). Exception: patients with non-melanoma primary skin cancers are eligible to participate in the study.
- Severe hypertension on repeated readings (systolic > 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).

Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Arm 2
Experimental
No Intervention
A-Intervention
B-Control
PCDT with intrathrombus delivery of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA, maximum allowable total dose 35 mg) into the DVT over a period of up to 24 hours. Three methods of initial rt-PA delivery will be used: 1) Trellis-8 Peripheral Infusion System - maximum first-session rt-PA dose 25 mg; 2) AngioJet Rheolytic Thrombectomy System - maximum first-session rt-PA dose 25 mg; or 3) Catheter-directed rt-PA infusion for up to 24 hours at 0.01 mg/kg/hr (maximum 1.0 mg/hr) via a multisidehole infusion catheter. Before and after PCDT, patients will receive standard DVT therapy as in the Control Arm
Initial anticoagulant therapy with unfractionated heparin, enoxaparin, dalteparin, or tinzaparin, for at least 5 days, overlapped with long-term oral warfarin (target international normalized ratio 2.0 - 3.0). Elastic compression stockings will be prescribed
