In order to be able to effect a necessary restriction of the bloodstream in vessels when certain indications exist, the inventive stent catheter system (1) comprises a catheter with an expandable balloon (3) and a stent (4) that can be placed on said balloon. The stent (4) is provided with a sheathing and the balloon (3) comprises, approximately in the middle area thereof, a section (5) with a reduced degree of expandability. As a result, it is possible to form, during expansion of the balloon, a restricting section of the stent in the area where the balloon (3) comprises a section (5) with a reduced degree of expandability. |
