Clinical Trial Summary

To determine if instillation of tissue plasminogen activator into a percutaneously drained intra-abdominal abscess cavity results in faster resolution of the abscess compared to normal standard of care.

Description:

On day 0 Subjects will have Tissue Plasminogen Activator injected into a drainage tube and allowed to dwell in the intra-abdominal abscess for one hour before allowing it to drain by gravity. This will be repeated on day 1 and 2.

Related Conditions & MeSH terms

Intervention

Drug:
• Tissue Plasminogen Activator
The dosage of tPA is determined by the volume of drainage obtained when abscess is first drained. The same dose will be repeated on day 1 and 2.
Other:
• Normal Saline
Normal Saline will be used rather than Tissue Plasminogen Activator for the Sham arm.
