A drug coated inflatable balloon catheter (200) configured to vibrate is disclosed. The vibration can dislodge the drug from the balloon. The vibration can also improve delivery of the drug to deeper layers of a vessel wall. The balloon catheter can include one or more support wires. The support wires can be coupled to an ultrasound transmission member (120). The ultrasound transmission member can transmit ultrasonic vibrations to the support wires and/or the balloon wall.
