The guide catheter may include a shaft to provide support to the guide catheter for positioning the guide catheter within the patient's vascular system, and for providing a stimulus to the guide catheter for shaping the guide catheter. The guide catheter may be formed of memory retention material responsive to the stimulus for selectively shaping the guide catheter during a catheter procedure.
