CONCLUSIONS: Among patients treated for an occluded CVC, alteplase-treated patients had lower daily and total postocclusion costs than patients receiving catheter replacement. Cost differences were mainly driven by lower operating room/surgery, radiology, and supplier costs. Jour-nal of Hospital Medicine 2014;9:490–496. VC 2014 The

Each attempt to restore catheter patency using a de-clotting agent such as tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) can cost $12010, but the true operational cost is much higher. Considering supply costs and time spent reconstituting the therapeutics, the cost to address an occlusion can quickly reach $206 per treatment.11 Patency restoration utilizing tPA is …
