ABSTRACT:
Dilation catheters for use in administering treatments to relieve stenotic regions within a body lumen are described. In the invention, a novel catheter system having a balloon length of minimal length for treating distal arteries is utilized. In addition, novel methods for treating stenotic areas which are present in tortuous vessels, as well as hardened, or calcified stenotic portions are also described.
