Claim 12:
13. An implantable vascular access port, comprising:
a port body having a lower or floor wall, an upper wall and at least one sidewall extending between said upper wall and said lower or floor wall, said port body having at least one internal chamber, said port body having at least one outlet aperture formed in said at least one sidewall thereof in communication with said at least one internal chamber, said port body having, substantially opposite said at least one outlet aperture, at least one access point or location defining an at least partially horizontal-access path or direction to said at least one outlet aperture through said at least one internal chamber;
at least one septum attached to said port body and covering or closing said at least one internal chamber at said at least one access point or location; and
at least one hollow outlet tube attached to the main port body and in fluid communication with said at least one internal chamber and said at least one outlet aperture,
wherein at least one of said at least one hollow outlet tube and said port body proximate said at least one outlet aperture is configured internally for cooperating with an outer surface of a distal end portion of a needle cannula inserted through said at least one access point or location, to removably or reversibly lock the cannula, upon an insertion of the distal end portion thereof into said at least one internal chamber, to said at least one hollow outlet tube or said port body proximate said at least one outlet aperture so that the cannula communicates with said lumen of said at least one hollow outlet tube.
