A double wall stent assembly is described in which an inner stent is deployed within an outer stent. The inner stent may be attached to the outer stent by various mechanisms, including a male and female receiving end or by an adhesive. After the inner stent has become clogged, a retrieval member may be inserted into the lumen of the inner stent to detach the inner stent from the outer stent. The clogged inner stent is thereafter removed from the body lumen leaving the outer stent in place. |
