The answer is D. No major problem will arise

Explanation:

This is an endoscopic procedure done to patients who have blocked food pipe.

The Oesophageal stent is a small metal or plastic tube which is put into the food pipe (oesophagus).

A cancer in the food pipe can partly or completely block and make it difficult to swallow. The solution mostly is to put a stent into the blocked area which opens up the food pipe well for the passage of of food. This also permits individuals to swallow food and drink more easily.

The patient normally stays in the hospital overnight or for a few days during this procedure.
