The step-father of the victim is an officer with the Water Haven Police Department, and part of the episode takes place in the town of Water Haven. The town and police department are both fictional, but judging from the setting of Water Haven being a village resort town for the super rich and famous it is likely supposed to be somewhere in the Hamptons, which is where the Water Haven scenes were filmed. The Hamptons is the name for the beaches and villages along the East end of Long Island and contains the real-life towns of Southampton and East Hampton. The Hamptons are a popular seaside resort and a summer getaway spot for the rich and famous.
Goren notices what he calls a "stent" in the mother's chest. He calls it a "stent", and the mother confirms that name and function. Actually, chemo is administered through a "mediport" or "medport". A "stent" is a cage wire mesh-like device that is compressed before it is placed in arteries (usually cardiac arteries). Once inserted, the stent spings open to hold open the artery. The stent procedure is used to treat arteriosclerotic narrowing of arteries. Other types of medically implanted access devices include: (1) AV fistulas. A piece of a vein from the patient's arm or leg is sewn into a nearby artery, thus allowing the sewn-in vein to enlarge and become thicker, like an artery. Another option for access to the circulatory system. One solution used in dialysis. (2) AV grafts. A prosthetic graft is sewn between an artery and vein in your arm or leg. Also, used for dialysis but less frequently than fistulas.
When Goren and Eames are talking with the victim's mother, he mentions the stent in her chest for chemo. This is incorrect: a central access in the chest is called a port. A stent is a central access in an artery in the lower palm side of the arm.
