Abstract (en)

[origin: WO03000332A1] A balloon catheter having a catheter delivery tube on the distal end of which is fitted an inflatable balloon 4, optionally carrying a stent. The balloon 4 is formed of a central cylindrical section 13 reducing by concave tapering sections 12, 14 to respective proximal and distal end sections 11, 15 which are attached to the catheter delivery tube (not shown). The concave tapering sections 12, 14 reduce the incidence of "dog-boning" during inflation of the balloon.
