A long-term line into a large vein near the heart, either a small disc under the skin (port) or a tube from the arm (PICC), so chemotherapy can be given and blood drawn without repeated needle sticks.
Vesicant drugs (anthracyclines, vinca alkaloids), continuous infusions (5-FU pumps) and cell therapies are safer through central access, which avoids extravasation and vein damage. Ports last years and allow swimming; PICC lines are cheaper but need weekly care and carry higher thrombosis and infection risk. Both are sources of line infection and catheter-related thrombosis, so they are removed when no longer needed.
Showing the technology this term belongs to: Infusion pumps, ports, and ambulatory chemotherapy devices.
