Abstract
A balloon catheter includes an inner shaft with a distal variant portion and a proximal variant portion. A bulged portion is provided at the distal end of a reinforcement member, and the bulged portion is configured to move in an axial direction between the distal variant portion and the proximal variant portion. Thus, the balloon catheter may smoothly pass through a curved blood vessel with improved kink resistance of the reinforcement member.
