Several diseases that impede the GI tract can be treated palliatively using Gastrointestinal Stents. GI stents are important in the recanalization of gastrointestinal tumours and surgical leak sealing.

Stents are tubular devices that are inserted into blood vessels, esophageal lumens, and colon lumens.
