    Abstract: Balloon catheters are described, including a balloon catheter that includes an inflatable balloon and a braiding positioned on an exterior surface of the inflatable balloon. The inflatable balloon includes an intermediate portion, a distal waist, and a transition portion between the intermediate portion and the distal waist. At least a portion of the transition portion has a cone angle of at least 40 degrees. The braiding includes a plurality of threads, and a spacing between adjacent threads of the plurality of threads over the distal waist is smaller than a spacing between adjacent threads of the plurality of threads over the intermediate portion. A spacing between adjacent threads of the plurality of threads over the transition portion gradually transitions over the transition portion from the spacing between adjacent threads over the intermediate portion to the spacing between adjacent threads over the distal waist.
