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.
