The present invention provides a balloon catheter capable of reducing the outer diameter when a balloon is folded as much as possible while maintaining high deliverability without reducing the bending rigidity of a shaft portion as much as possible. A shaft portion (60) having a polygonal axial cross section on an outer peripheral surface, and can be folded on the outer peripheral surface of the shaft portion (60), and folded to be folded (34), (35 Each of the folded portions (34), (35) extending linearly along the axial direction is a side of the polygon. (71) A balloon catheter (10) located above.【課題】シャフト部の曲げ剛性を極力低下させずに高い送達性を維持しつつ、バルーンを折り畳んだ際の外径を極力小さくできるバルーンカテーテルを提供する。【解決手段】外周面の軸直交断面が多角形であるシャフト部(60)と、前記シャフト部(60)の外周面に折り畳み可能であって、折り畳まれることで折り返し部(34),(35)が形成されるバルーン(30)と、を有し、前記折り返し部(34),(35)のうち軸方向に沿って直線的に延びて形成される部位の各々が、前記多角形の辺(71)上に位置するバルーンカテーテル(10)である。
