Abstract
Balloon catheters are main devices for endovascular treatment, and, based on the features of their delivery systems, they can be classified into two types, i.e., the over-the-wire (OTW) type and the rapid exchange system (RX) type. This chapter provides a tabular summary of the names, brands, compliances, and specifications of balloon catheters, as well as their adapter wires, adapter sheaths, bursting pressures, shafts, and other adapter devices. After that, it elaborates on their structures and features based on balloons of different brands.
