More about peripherally inserted IV catheters:

Peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC). A PICC is a small, flexible tube that is threaded into the superior vena cava, a significant vein located above the right side of the heart. It is inserted into an upper arm vein. Injectable fluids, blood transfusions, chemotherapy, and other medications are administered through it.

Blood samples can also be drawn using this method. A catheter line helps prevent the need for additional needle sticks and may remain in situ for weeks or months.
