Procedure 07

PICC line & implanted port

Both give doctors reliable, long-term access to your bloodstream for IV medications, nutrition, or blood draws — without repeated needle sticks in your arm. A PICC line is threaded through a vein near your elbow up toward your heart — ideal for weeks to months of treatment. An implanted port is a small dome placed entirely under the skin of your chest — practically invisible, much lower infection risk, and can stay in place for years. Both are placed, exchanged, and removed as a same-day outpatient procedure.

Carla kelly

Dr. Abraham is great. She put me at ease through the entire process as it isn't easy when you are undergoing multiple procedures to figure out the issue. I do need to see her for the rest of my life but I trust her to be in her care and that she has my best interest. Her nurse Daisy is wonderful as well. They are always prompt to respond to calls, questions or requests. I wouldn't go anywhere else.
