摘要

A balloon catheter (10) is provided with: a catheter shaft (2) which extends, in the extension direction, from the proximal end toward the distal end; a balloon (3) which is provided to the catheter shaft (2) and which is inflatable in the radially outward direction centered on the catheter shaft (2); a linear member (41) which is arranged at least at a part of the outer circumferential surface (3D) of the balloon 3 and which extends along the extension direction; and a pressing member (6) which presses the linear member (41) against the balloon. The linear member (41) is arranged in an inflation region (33) which is of the balloon (3) and of which the diameter is substantially fixed at the time of inflation.
