ABSTRACT:
In one aspect, the invention provides a vascular catheter sheath for use with a therapeutic catheter having a radially expandable member. The catheter sheath includes a catheter body having a proximal end, a distal end, and at least one lumen adapted to receive the therapeutic catheter. The catheter body further includes a compliant portion near the distal end, with the compliant portion being adaptable to conform to the shape of the expandable member when the expandable member is radially expanded in the lumen.
