CENTRAL VENOUS ACCESS CATHETERS
“More than 3.4 million CVACs are placed each year, and doctors
increasingly recommend their use. There are several types of CVACs,
including tunneled catheters (you may hear them called Hickman or
Broviac catheters), peripherally inserted central catheters (sometimes
called PICC lines or long lines), dialysis catheters and implantable
ports. Your doctor can explain which one is best for you.”
