Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Must give written informed consent
* Ages 18 or older
* Unable to withdraw at least 3 mL of blood from a central venous access device
* Hemodynamically stable
* Available for follow-up assessments

Exclusion Criteria

* Catheter placed less than 48 hours prior to detection of occlusion
* Catheter used for hemodialysis or pheresis
* Previous treatment with plasminogen activator for current episode of catheter occlusion
* Less than 18 years of age
* Any evidence of mechanical or nonthrombotic occlusion
* In the opinion of the investigator, subject is at "high risk" for bleeding events of embolic complications, or has a condition for which bleeding constitutes a significant hazard
* Increased risk for drug extravasation
* Pregnant, lactating, or actively menstruating women and women of child-bearing potential who are not using adequate contraceptive precautions (e.g., intrauterine device, oral contraceptives, barrier methods, or other contraception deemed adequate by the investigator)
* Known right-to-left cardiac shunt, patent foramen ovale, or atrial/ventricular septal defect
* Participation in any other study of an investigational device, medication, biologic, or other agent within 30 days before enrollment and until the 30-day follow up visit
