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.
This port is then attached to a catheter tube that is threaded into one of the large veins near your neck, such as the subclavian vein or jugular vein, and ends near the top of your heart. After your port is placed, you will notice a slight protrusion in your skin, over the port. During blood draws or chemotherapy infusions, a nurse will insert a needle into your port in an area called the septum, a resealing rubber center on your port.
