Download this information. A port-a-cath is an IV (intravenous) catheter that is placed under the skin in a patient who requires frequent administration of chemotherapy, blood transfusions, antibiotics, intravenous feeding, or blood draws.
When the catheter is placed in your chest, the catheter tip will be in the large vein that empties into your heart. The port itself will be under the skin of your chest, below your collarbone and above your breast area. You will have a thin scar 1 to 2 inches long on your skin. You will not be able to see the port and catheter. But, you may have a small bulge in your skin where the port is. Why do I need a chest port? Ports are very useful for giving medicines directly into a vein over a long period. They are better than an intravenous (IV) line because: A port can stay in place for months or even years, if needed.
