Various embodiments concern a guide catheter (40) for delivery of an implantable lead (14) within the coronary vein. Such a guide catheter can comprise a tubular body (41) having a main lumen (50) and at least one preformed bend. The tubular body can comprise a liner (51) defining an inner surface (52), braiding (54) circumferentially surrounding the liner, a jacket (53) covering the braiding and defining an exterior surface of the tubular body, and a plurality of inflation tubes (61, 62) embedded within the jacket. The guide catheter can include a balloon (70) mounted on the tubular body, each of the plurality of inflation tubes in communication with the balloon. The guide catheter can further include a hub (45) providing access to the main lumen, the hub comprising a first port (49) for introduction of contrast media into the main lumen and a second port (48) in communication with the plurality of inflation tubes.
