A cutting balloon assembly (10) and a method for fabrication of the assembly is described. The cutting balloon assembly comprises a delivery catheter (11) an expandable balloon (12) mounted on the catheter distal end and a scoring mesh(13) disposed around the expandable balloon. The scoring mesh comprises interlacing filaments (131) that extend from a mesh proximal end towards a mesh distal end form distal filament loops (135) at said mesh distal end and then return to the mesh proximal end. At least a part of the interlacing filaments forms one or more permanent links with neighboring filaments between the mesh proximal end and the mesh distal end.
