This is a balloon catheter having braided layer which extends generally from the proximal end of the catheter to a location distal of the balloon. In particular, it is desirable that the shaft of the catheter proximal of the balloon be stiffest at the proximal section and least stiff just proximal of the balloon. Although the catheter may be a single lumen catheter using some type of a core wire to act as a valve for inflation and deflation of the balloon, it is within the scope of the invention to include either a separate inflation/deflation lumen or one incorporated into the various concentric polymeric layers used to make up the proximal shaft. Particularly preferred is the use of an elastic, compliant balloon.

athéter à ballonnet comportant une couche tressée qui s'étend généralement depuis l'extrémité proximale du cathéter jusqu'à un point situé en aval du ballonnet. En particulier, il est souhaitable que la tubulure du cathéter située en amont du ballonnet soit plus rigide au niveau de la section proximale et moins rigide juste en amont du ballonnet. Bien que le cathéter puisse être un cathéter monolumière comportant un certain type de fil central qui joue le rôle de valve et permet de gonfler et de dégonfler le ballonnet, la présente invention prévoit inclure soit une lumière distincte pour le gonflement/dégonflement, soit une lumière intégrée dans les diverses couches concentriques de polymère qui composent la tubulure proximale. Il est particulièrement recommandé d'utiliser un ballonnet élastique, flexible.
