Abstract
An improved balloon catheter structure includes a beveled distal tip, a reinforced distal portion, and an elastic or split sleeve over at least a portion of the balloon. The balloon may have a short length and a marker at its midline. The catheters are particularly useful for crossing through stent walls at vessel bifurcations.
