Thank for asking
I really appreciate your concern, it is not possible to put the stent in intestine because of the bigger area in compare to vascular area like artery and veins, actually exact clinical diagnosis not being given here for the intestinal pathologies but most of the time the surgery is the only way out there multiple pathologies can creates the complications, over all underlying cause or the diagnosis matters the great hope this information helps.
