ABSTRACT:
A connector stent of adjustable length is provided for draining fluid through a biological passage. The connector stent comprises an elongated tubular member and a connector. A retaining means is disposed at one end of the elongated tubular member, the other end being straight. A retaining means is disposed at one end of the connector, the other end being adapted to engage the straight end of the elongated tubular member. The straight end of the elongated tubular member may be cut to a desired length before engaging the connector so that the length of the connector stent corresponds to the length of the fluid passageway to be drained.
