Port-a-Cath (Implanted Vascular Access Device):    • Port-a-Cath (Implanted Vascular Access Dev...   Transcript: Sometimes it makes sense to use a vascular access device - a small port and catheter that allows medication to be administered directly into a large central vein. Using local anesthetic, and guided by ultrasound and x-ray, a radiologist will insert the thin flexible tube into a large blood vessel leading to your heart. The port itself is generally placed on your upper chest, just beneath your skin. The procedure is easily performed with minimal risk and pain. When the procedure is over, medication or intravenous fluids can be administered without the discomfort of multiple needle pokes. The device is a long-term solution for ongoing treatments. You'll need to keep the incision clean and dry and avoid strenuous activity until it heals.
