What Is a Chemoport and Why It’s Important for Chemotherapy
Chemoport is also known as a port-a-cath is a small device that is surgically implanted under the skin to allow easy access to the bloodstream. A chemoport can be used to draw blood and infuse chemotheraphy drugs into the bloodstream. Some chemotheraphy medications are better given through a port as they are too caustic to be delivered into a small vein. Dr Maran is the most sought-after surgeon for this procedure. He is known for his skills in placing this device perfectly.
