I'm so sorry that you are having so much trouble. I don't know how vein mapping works. My husband had the tunneled catheter type port in his chest for his chemo. He had it for about a year, and fortunately it never got infected, and worked until they finally took it out after the chemo was finished.
Hopefully one of the others with more knowlege will post an answer for you.
Hugs,
