The finite deformation of the balloon catheter

The balloon-based catheters are attractive for the minimally invasive procedures because these catheters can be configured to match requirements on size and shape for the interaction with the soft tissue. An analytical mechanic model is developed for the deformed balloon to determine the shape of th...
