For patients undergoing chemotherapy, frequent IV access can be painful and exhausting. That\u2019s why many oncologists recommend port placement\u2014a small device that allows for safe, repeated access to your veins without repeated needle sticks.<\/p>\n
At The Leg Pain and Vascular Institute, Dr. Bilal Anwer offers minimally invasive port placements in a comfortable, office-based setting. With a focus on precision, safety, and compassion, Dr. Anwer ensures your port is placed quickly, securely, and with minimal discomfort.<\/p>\n
A chemotherapy port is a small, implantable device that sits just under the skin, usually in the chest. It\u2019s connected to a catheter that enters a large central vein. Once placed, the port allows your care team to deliver chemotherapy, fluids, or draw blood\u2014safely and easily.<\/p>\n
Ports reduce the risk of vein damage, infection, and discomfort from repeated needle access.<\/p>\n
Port placement is a quick, outpatient procedure performed under ultrasound and fluoroscopic guidance. Dr. Anwer makes a small incision, inserts the catheter into a vein, and places the port securely beneath the skin.<\/p>\n
Most patients go home the same day with minimal restrictions and can begin using the port for treatment within days.<\/p>\n
