A member asked:
I have a port cath & 2 clots formed in the jugular/subclavian. they couldn't be broken down in surgery & meds won't dissolve them. md said that the port stays because if removed will cause more damage; if it stays in what further damage is it causing?

Vascular surgeon: Most physicians will not have experience with this problem. I would rely on a vascular surgeon for advice.
