Therefore, if the balloon is inserted into the blood vessel with the scoring element fixed to the balloon from the beginning, the passage of the balloon in the blood vessel may be deteriorated due to the rigidity of the scoring element.

  • the dimensions of the balloon 220 are preferably 5 mm to 300 mm in the perspective direction and 0.5 mm to 12 mm in the outer diameter when the lesion is a blood vessel, and when the lesion is a gastrointestinal tract such as the duodenal papilla. It is preferable that the length in the perspective direction is 10 mm to 100 mm and the outer diameter is 3 mm to 30 mm.
  • Fixing of the shaft 210 and the balloon 220 includes, for example, adhesion and welding with an adhesive, and caulking by attaching a ring-shaped member to a portion where the shaft 210 and the end of the balloon 220 overlap. Above all, it is preferable that the shaft 210 and the balloon 220 are fixed by welding. Since the shaft 210 and the balloon 220 are welded together, the fixing between the shaft 210 and the balloon 220 is difficult to be released even if the balloon 220 is repeatedly expanded and contracted, and the fixing strength between the shaft 210 and the balloon 220 is easily increased. be able to.
  • the balloon catheter 200 may have a hub 204 on the proximal side of the shaft 210 to deliver fluid to the shaft 210.
  • the hub 204 preferably has a fluid injection portion 206 communicating with the fluid flow path supplied inside the balloon 220 and a guide wire insertion portion 205 communicating with the guide wire insertion passage. Since the balloon catheter 200 has a hub 204 including a fluid injection portion 206 and a guide wire insertion portion 205, an operation of supplying fluid to the inside of the balloon 220 to expand and contract the balloon 220 and along the guide wire can be performed.
  • the balloon catheter 200 can be easily delivered to the lesion.
  • Fixing of the shaft 210 and the hub 204 includes, for example, adhesion with an adhesive, welding, and the like. Above all, it is preferable that the shaft 210 and the hub 204 are fixed by adhesion. If the shaft 210 and the hub 204 are fixed by adhesion, for example, the shaft 210 is made of a highly flexible material, the hub 204 is made of a highly rigid material, and so on. When the material constituting the hub 204 is different, the fixing strength between the shaft 210 and the hub 204 can be increased to increase the durability of the balloon catheter 200.
  • a chemical injection port may be provided in the proximal portion of the shaft 210.
  • the drug solution injected from the drug solution injection port is introduced into the lumen 230 by a tube communicating with the lumen 230, and is discharged from the distal end 230d of the lumen 230 and / or the opening 230a provided in the lumen 230 to form a lesion. Can be administered to.
  • the drug solution can be injected after the balloon 220 is delivered to the lesion and the drug solution can be delivered to the lesion by the lumen 230. It is possible to effectively administer the drug to the lesion without losing the drug in the drug solution during delivery.
  • the drug contained in the drug solution injected from the drug solution injection port is not particularly limited as long as it is a pharmacologically active substance, and examples thereof include non-gene therapy drugs, gene therapy drugs, small molecules, cells, and other drugs that are acceptable as drugs. Be done.
  • anti-restenosis agents such as antiproliferative agents and immunosuppressive agents can be preferably used as agents.
  • drugs such as paclitaxel, sirolimus (rapamycin), everolimus, and zotarolimus can be used. Only one of these agents may be used, or two or more of these agents may be used.
  • the third balloon catheter may be a balloon catheter having both a first engaging portion 131 and a second engaging portion 231, or a second balloon catheter 200 having a first engaging portion 131. It may be a balloon catheter with preferred requirements.
  • Such a balloon catheter can prevent the long body from rotating in the axial direction and shifting in the circumferential direction on the balloon, and can bring the long body into contact with the lesion at a desired angle.
