Title: Acute Venous Thrombosis: Thrombus Removal With Adjunctive Catheter-Directed Thrombolysis--The ATTRACT Trial
Brief 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.

* Symptom duration \> 14 days for the DVT episode in the index leg (i.e., non-acute DVT).

* 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.

* Pulmonary embolism with hemodynamic compromise (i.e., hypotension).

* 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).

* 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.

* previous enrolment in this study;
* known hypersensitivity to Tenecteplase, Alteplase, unfractionated heparin, or to any of the excipients;
* anticipated or obvious problem with vascular access;
* any other condition that the investigator feels would place the patient at increased risk if the investigational therapy is initiated;
* inability to follow protocol requirements
