The anti-obesity dual stent includes a tubular outer structure within
which is located a coaxial tubular inner structure. The outer structure
is sized to fit within a duodenum in substantially coaxial relation
therewith. The outer and inner structures communicate with the pylorus
and papilla of Vater to provide conduits for the chyme and digestive
fluid. Alternatively, the anti-obesity dual stent may include a tubular
papilla-supplied structure which has a lateral orientation relative to a
tubular pylorus-supplied structure. The papilla-supplied and
pylorus-supplied structures each are sized to fit longitudinally within
the duodenum. The pylorus-supplied and papilla-supplied structures
communicate with the pylorus and papilla of Vater to provide conduits for
the chyme and digestive fluid.
