My daughter had a subcutaneous vascular access device (Mediport) for intermittent antibiotic infusions and wasn't on any anticoaggulant except for flushing the port once a month w/ 5ml of 100iu/ml heparin and 2ml of 100iu/ml heparin if it was accessed and not being used. She never developed any blood clots but the port did quit working after about 6 years due to the formation of a fibrin sheath on the tip of the catheter. Hope that info helps.
