ABSTRACT:
This invention is directed to a balloon catheter having at least one advancement wire with a distal end section secured to a distal tip section of the catheter, and with a textured section extending along the outer surface of at least a portion of an inflatable section of the catheter balloon. The textured section of the advancement wire preferably improves the ability of the balloon to remain in position in the patient's body lumen during inflation of the balloon to perform a medical procedure such as balloon angioplasty or stent touch-up.
