Clot-Busting Drug Offers New Approach to DVT
Date:1/29/2008

embolism research group at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston.

Goldhaber noted that the clot-busting procedure is difficult to do and requires advanced training and it goes against the currently accepted treatment for DVT. "This approach needs to be proven in a randomized, controlled trial," he said.

The trial would have to show that the clot-dissolving procedure was superior to current therapy, worth the extra cost and effort, and the temporary discomfort to the patient, Goldhaber said.
