Subcutaneous port placement (eg: port-a-cath) is a procedure that involves the placement of an implanted device with the tip positioned at the cavoatrial junction that allows for rapid, recurrent central venous access intermittently for months to years.
The SIR Medical Student Reserves have been working on a new project to develop and promote the DO spotlight. This highlights DO physicians at all levels of practice and training in IR. Our first physician to be featured is Dr. Christopher Grilli.
