In the case of a prepared catheter for intraluminal treatment of a vessel section with ionizing radiation, which catheter has an elongate shaft (1) with a proximal end and a distal end (2) as percutaneous transluminal access to the vessel section, an inflatable balloon (8) at the distal end (2) of the shaft (1), an inflation lumen (7) which runs through the shaft (1) and opens into the balloon (8), and a source (12) of ionizing radiation which can be positioned in the balloon (8), and which catheter is filled with an inflation medium (9) for applying pressure to the balloon (8), if the inflation medium (9) is a gas, only a comparatively small proportion of the ionizing radiation is absorbed and rendered ineffective as it passes through the gas. In this way, the intended dose of radiation can be administered within a short treatment time.
