ABSTRACT:
The dilatation balloon assmebly comprises a catheter having a proximal end, a distal end and a distal end portion, the distal end portion having openings in the side wall thereof, and a dilatation balloon connected to and extending from the distal end of the catheter around and about the distal end portion of the catheter to a proximal end of the balloon which is also connected to the catheter. The balloon has at least three axially extending longitudinal creases therein whereby, when the balloon is in a deflated state, the maximum lateral extent in cross-section of the balloon is less than the diameter or lateral extent of a fully inflated balloon or a partially inflated balloon.
