How long does it take to form a clot in a Port-a-Cath if it was not flushed after a blood draw?
Ports can clot off in less than an hour after a blood draw with no flush after. That is the worst thing you can do to a port is to not flush it especially after a blood draw. Once you have a clot it can be very difficult if not impossible to fix and you may need a new port entirely.
