Chemoport Placement in Lucknow is a minimally invasive procedure used to provide long-term intravenous access for patients requiring repeated chemotherapy, medications, or blood tests. Cancer treatment often needs multiple needle pricks, which become painful and damage veins over time. A chemoport allows medicines to be delivered safely into a large central vein without repeated injections.
The port is placed completely under the skin, usually in the chest, and connected to a central vein through a thin catheter. This image-guided technique ensures painless drug delivery, reduces complications, and improves patient comfort during long treatment cycles.
The procedure is especially helpful in cancer patients who need frequent chemotherapy, IV antibiotics, nutrition therapy, or long-term treatment.
What Is Chemoport Placement?
Chemoport placement is a procedure in which a small medical device (implantable venous port) is inserted under the skin and connected to a central vein using imaging guidance.
The port is used for:
Chemotherapy drugs
IV medications
Blood transfusion
Long-term antibiotics
Repeated blood sampling
IV nutrition (TPN)
It protects peripheral veins and allows safe long-term treatment access.
Why Is Chemoport Needed?
Repeated IV injections during cancer therapy can cause vein damage, swelling, and severe discomfort.
Common reasons include:
Long chemotherapy cycles
Weak or collapsed veins
Painful repeated needle pricks
Irritating chemotherapy drugs
Need for frequent blood tests
Long-term IV treatment
Without a port, veins may become unusable, delaying treatment and increasing complications.
