A member asked:
Would my vasculitis be the reason i cannot get iv lines into my veins and the reason why i have had portacaths for last 12 yrs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Here are some ...: The calibre & texture of venous wall change along aging and recurrent usage - venipunctures like that in IV drug users. As a result, the difficulty to place IV-line or inject IV-drugs into the desired veins will in time become a real problem to gain access for administering IV drugs like those for chemotherapy or IV antibiotics. Finally, placing portacath for such use becomes reality - last resort
