Telescoping stents

A telescoping stent, comprising:

• a proximal anchor;
• a distal anchor;
• and
• two or more tubular segments each comprising a longitudinal axis;
• wherein a first tubular segment of the two or more tubular segments comprises:
• an interior wall comprising a first receiver, the first receiver comprising:
• a first vestibule associated with a first track along the longitudinal axis, wherein the first vestibule is disposed interior to and continuous with the first track, and
• an exterior wall comprising a first insertor having
• a neck and a head, wherein
• the neck is narrower than and continuous with the head and disposed proximate to the exterior wall relative to the head, said head is disposed in a second vestibule of a second receiver of a second tubular segment, and
• said neck extends through an opening in the second vestibule of the second receiver but said head is too large to exit said opening, and
• said first insertor is movable along the longitudinal axis from a position nearest a proximal end of the second receiver to a position nearest a distal end of the second receiver;
• wherein the first tubular segment has a different diameter relative to the second tubular segment and variably overlaps with said second tubular segment along the longitudinal axis to a maximum overlap and a minimum overlap:
• and
• wherein the maximum overlap is achieved when the first insertor is in the position nearest the proximal end of the second receiver, and the minimum overlap is achieved when the first insertor is in the position nearest the distal end of the second receiver.
