Abstract: Novel catheter balloons (10) are provided, having shaped surfaces (14, 16), which allow for delivery of drugs to a site in the vessel, provide for agents which allow for determination of blood flow and definition of the vessel walls, and sampling of the materials at the site for diagnosis. In addition, the balloons may be used for angioplasty.
