Groshongs may be left in place for extended periods and are used when long-term intravenous therapy is needed, such as for chemotherapy.Similar to the Hickman line, the tip of the catheter is in the superior vena cava, and the catheter is tunneled under the skin to an incision on the chest wall, where the distal end of the catheter exits the body.

Within these top five, the researchers saw large differences in the magnitude of that growth. For example, Washington, D.C., had 1.5 times greater growth in rat populations than New York City.
