Title: Tpa and old clots

I should have added that in home infusion we like to put the TPA in the line and leave it as long as possible.  For example put in at 8am then return just before next dose is due to take out.  We have been very successful with this even for lines clotted a long time.  RaKay Dance, Prescription Center Home Care   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Fritz, Donna Sent: Monday, October 09, 2006 5:00 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Tpa and old clots   How long after clot formation can tpa be used with reasonable success?  I had a case today where 2 lumens of a triple arrow had been clotted for about 5 days.   ***************************************************************************** This communication is for the use of the intended recipient only.  It may contain information that is privileged and confidential.  If you are not the intended recipient of this communication, any disclosure, copying, further distribution or use thereof is prohibited.  If you have received this communication in error, please advise me by return e-mail or by telephone and delete/destroy it. *****************************************************************************
