Placement of a subclavian venous infusion catheter with an
implantable target is a procedure in which the doctor places
one end of a catheter (tube) into a large vein in the upper
part of your chest and leads the other end under the skin
away from the vein to another site just under the skin. The
end of the catheter has a reservoir, or target, into which
drugs can be injected. The reservoir is a storage space for
fluids.
