  • Inability to tolerate catheter procedure due to severe dyspnea or acute systemic illness.
  • Allergy, hypersensitivity, or thrombocytopenia from heparin, r-tPA, or iodinated contrast, except for mild-moderate contrast allergies for which steroid pre-medication can be used.
  • Known significant bleeding risk, or known coagulation disorder (including vitamin K antagonists with INR \> 2.0 and platelet count \< 100 000/mm3)
  • Severe renal impairment (estimated GFR \< 30 ml/min).
  • Active bleeding, recent (\< 3 mo) GI bleeding, severe liver dysfunction, bleeding diathesis.
  • Recent (\< 3 mo) internal eye surgery or hemorrhagic retinopathy; recent (\< 10 days) major surgery, cataract surgery, trauma, CPR, obstetrical delivery, or other invasive procedure.
  • History of stroke or intracranial/intraspinal bleed, tumor, vascular malformation, aneurysm.
  • Severe hypertension on repeated readings (systolic \> 180 mmHg or diastolic \> 105 mmHg).
  • Pregnant, lactation or parturition within the previous 30 days (positive pregnancy test, women of childbearing age must be tested or use a medically accepted method of birth control).
  • Recently (\< 1 mo) had thrombolysis.
  • Life expectancy \< 6 months or chronic non-ambulatory status.
  • Participating in any other investigational drug or device study or previous enrollment in this study
  • Inability to provide informed consent or to comply with study assessments (e.g. due to cognitive impairment or geographic distance).
  • Any other condition that the investigator feels would place the patient at increased risk if the investigational therapy is initiated
