PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vascular endoscope catheter, which has an outer diameter insertable into various types of blood vessels and which allows a guide wire to be inserted into a blood vessel without requiring experience and extremely advanced technique of an operator, and provide a vascular endoscope using the same.SOLUTION: A vascular endoscope catheter and a vascular endoscope using the same are disclosed. The vascular endoscope catheter comprises a flexible lumen body. The lumen body comprises: a flexible guide wire which is disposed so as to become an eccentric shaft in an axial cross section of the lumen body at a distal end of the lumen body, and can extend in a distal direction from the distal end of the lumen body along an axial direction of the lumen body; and a fiber bundle which consists of a plurality of glass fibers accommodated in the lumen body, and in which distal ends of the glass fibers are oriented along the axial direction of the lumen body, respectively. The outer diameter of the lumen body is between 0.1 mm and 2 mm.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 |
