A drug-coated balloon for intracranial atherosclerosis. The drug-coated balloon includes a body portion having a distal end, a proximal end opposite the distal end, and a sidewall extending between the distal end and the proximal end. The body portion is movable between a deflated position and an inflated position. The drug-coated balloon also includes a plurality of wires supported within the body portion. Each wire restricts a portion of the balloon from expanding when the body portion moves to the inflated position. The portion of the balloon that is restricted from expanding forms recessed portions in the sidewall of the balloon. The recessed portions are configured to reduce an amount of plaque that moves from the main intracranial artery to perforator arteries.
A drug-coated balloon for intracranial atherosclerosis, the drug-coated balloon configured to be inserted through a portion of a main intracranial artery with plaque creating a progressive stenosis, the drug-coated balloon comprising:
