ABSTRACT:
An arterial access port which is grafted directly into the vascular system. The graft consists of a stem portion having at least one side branch extending from the stem for connection to an infusion port. The infusion port is in turn connected to a catheter or other similar device permitting the introduction of medication into the vascular system. The stem may take the form of a tubular section or an open surface for grafting into a side wall of a vascular channel. In use, medication or other material is first introduced through the access port, and then travels down the side branch to the venous system.
