PICC Line and Port Placement. PICC Lines. A Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC), is a long, thin, soft plastic tube that functions as an intravenous (IV) line. A PICC line allows nurses and doctors to administer medications and fluids on a frequent basis. A PICC can remain in place for as long as you need IV therapy.

After insertion, a chest x-ray is obtained to confirm ideal placement.
