| Zusammenfassung: | The invention relates to the field of intravascular catheters, and particularly to a catheter suitable for angioplasty and/or stent deployment, and the like.
The invention is generally directed to an intraluminal catheter system with an improved transition between a proximal shaft portion and a more flexible distal shaft portion. The improvement provides enhanced flexibility and kink-resistance, thus, facilitating advancement through tortuous anatomy. The present catheters may be used for either or both angioplasty and stent deployment. |
