Stents, systems, and methods for gastrointestinal tract treatment

A system, comprising:

• a stent comprising:
• a tubular scaffold having a longitudinal extent with a first end opposite a second end and an anchoring region along the longitudinal extent, and defining a lumen extending between the first end and the second end;
• and
• a liner extending at least partially along the tubular scaffold, wherein a portion of the liner located along the longitudinal extent of the tubular scaffold at the same position as the anchoring region of the tubular scaffold is spaced radially-inwardly from and within the anchoring region to promote tissue ingrowth with the anchoring region and between the regions of the tubular scaffold proximal and distal to the anchoring region;
• and
• a sheath extending from the second end of the tubular scaffold, the sheath having a proximal end opposite a distal end, wherein a lumen extends between the proximal end and the distal end.

A method, comprising:

• deploying a system within a gastrointestinal (GI) tract of a patient, the system comprising:
• a stent comprising a tubular scaffold having a longitudinal extent with a first end opposite a second end and an anchoring region at an anchoring position along the longitudinal extent, and defining a lumen extending between the first end and the second end;
• and
• a liner extending at least partially along the tubular scaffold, wherein a portion of the liner located along the longitudinal extent of the tubular scaffold at the same position as the anchoring position is spaced radially-inwardly from and within the anchoring region of the tubular scaffold such that the anchoring region is exposed to the GI tract to promote tissue ingrowth between the anchoring region of the tubular scaffold and the GI tract;
• and
• positioning the tubular scaffold in the GI tract with the anchoring region of the tubular scaffold adjacent tissue in the GI tract to promote tissue ingrowth therewith.
