The main tubular body identifies at least one balloon (8). The catheter further comprises at least one inner tubular body (6), at least partially housed in the central lumen, which delimits at least one inner lumen (16) for housing at least one guide wire, the portion of distal extremity of the balloon being joined to the inner tubular body. Furthermore, the central axis (Y) of the inner lumen is arched or undulated to form an accumulation of material for the expansion of the balloon. The present invention further refers to a method of manufacturing the catheter of the invention and to a machine for the production of a tool used during the aforesaid method.
