What to expect from vascular access device implantation
After you and your doctor decide which device you need, the skin of the implantation site is cleaned thoroughly. Your doctor may use X-ray or ultrasound guidance to properly place the device. You’ll receive medication to numb the site, and the doctor will make an incision.
Larger devices require your doctor to use a guide wire to see where to place the device in the blood vessel. A guide wire is a wire the doctor inserts into the blood vessel during the insertion procedure. Once the device is in place, the guide wire is removed. Part of the device will remain outside your skin. You’ll receive instructions on how to keep the device clean, dry, and in place. Tell your doctor right away if you notice any swelling, pain, or soreness at the device insertion site, as this may be a sign of an infection or injury.
If you’re receiving a port, the doctor will create a small pocket under your skin so doctors and nurses can access your port later.
