Abstract:
Despite recent advances in catheter-based technologies for peripheral arterial revascularization, adequate guide catheter positioning and support remains a leading procedural challenge. This report describes the adaptation of the Behar Internal Mammary VB-1 catheter for peripheral revascularization procedures in patients with complex anatomy not amendable to other conventional peripheral guide catheters.
