What is Cathflo Activase?

Cathflo Activase (alteplase) is a brand-name prescription drug administered to patients in a clinical or hospital setting to break up clots and restore flow to a dysfunctional central venous access device (CVAD), a tube installed into a vein and threaded to the large veins feeding the heart, the superior vena cava or inferior vena cava.

CVADs allow for medicine delivery, blood draws, or they allow patients on intravenous drugs to go home and still receive infusions. Patients may wear a CVAD during a hospital stay or they may be sent home with them. Patients sent home will be trained in cleaning the device with saline and heparin, a blood thinner that prevents clots from forming in the line.

In the event a CVAD becomes blocked by one or more blood clots, alteplase is a protein that will break them apart. Cathflo Activase is administered in a clinic or hospital by a healthcare professional. The dose will depend on how long it takes to get effective blood withdrawal from the device.

What are the side effects of Cathflo Activase?
