Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Catheters having a pre-shaped tip configuration are disclosed. A catheter in accordance with an illustrative embodiment of the present invention can include an elongated tubular shaft equipped with a distal tip section having a pre-shaped tip configuration that can be used to facilitate tracking of the device through particular locations of the vasculature. The catheter may include a number of features that transition the stiffness and flexibility characteristics of the device and provide a means to radiographically visualize the catheter within the body. L'invention concerne des cathéters à extrémité distale préformée. On décrit par exemple un cathéter qui peut comprendre un axe tubulaire allongé à extrémité distale préformée susceptible d'être utilisée pour faciliter la poursuite du dispositif à travers des emplacements spécifiques de système vasculaire. Il peut comprendre des fonctions assurant la transition entre ses caractéristiques de rigidité et de souplesse et permettant la visualisation radiographique du cathéter dans le corps.
