ABSTRACT An angioplasty catheter comprising a main body having proximal and distal ends and defining a first lumen extending to the distal end and a second lumen terminating at an opening spaced from the distal end, and a collapsible connection piece in the main body between said opening and the distal end. A balloon is attached at the ends of the balloon to the main body and contains the opening and the connection piece, and the connection piece collapses axially when the balloon is inflated to minimise energy stored in the main body. This accommodates changes in length of the balloon so that the body will remain straight both during and after inflation of the balloon. A method of manufacture is also disclosed.
