Abstract
An intravascular catheter device includes an expandable portion secured to a flexible catheter tube and configured for controllable movement between a first position where at least a portion of each of a plurality of struts is moved outward so as to extend beyond an outer surface of a sheath and a second position where the struts are compressed. A limiter for restricting expansion of the expandable portion is interposed between the expandable portion and a tip member located distal to the expandable portion. An incising element associated with one of the struts is configured to incise tissue located within a blood vessel when the expandable portion is placed in the first position and retracted axially along the blood vessel.
