The objective of this study is to scientifically evaluate a new substrate for fibrinolysis compared to our standard tPA.
The hypothesis, driven by a recent prospective trial, is that tPA may benefit from the addition of DNAse.
The primary outcome variable between the two techniques will be length of hospitalization after initiation of treatment.
