A balloon catheter, or angioplasty balloon, is a small tube which has a neurovascular remodelling balloon mounted at the distal end. The neurovascular remodelling balloonis used to dilate the lesion so as to enlarge the site, to improve stent apposition or to achieve full stent expansion. Diagnostic temporary arterial occlusion known as balloon test occlusion (BTO) is the most common application of neurovascular remodelling balloons.
