Tesio catheter insertion and use of alteplace

Is there anyone that uses alteplace, following saline flush for a new tesio upon insertion? I am trying to research this process, rather than using heparin. Thanks for your feedback.

There is one Canadian study

There is one Canadian study of using tPA for locking hemodialysis catheters. Your literature search may not bring up anything when you use trade names like Tesio . Lynn
