1. A method of manufacturing a balloon catheter including a balloon provided on a distal end side of a shaft, comprising:
forming the balloon of a deformable synthetic resin;
applying a curable metal paste layer with a resin material mixed therein to a formation surface of the balloon so as to form an additional structure directly on the formation surface as a result of the application, wherein the applying comprises at least one of thermal spraying and vacuum deposition, the resin material exhibits a fixation force in relation to the balloon, the additional structure is formed in a prescribed pattern directly on the formation surface, and the formation surface is a surface of at least one of an inner circumferential surface of the balloon and an outer circumferential surface of the balloon; and
performing cooling treatment of the balloon to a surface opposite the formation surface of the balloon during the applying via at least one of thermal spraying and vacuum deposition.
