The present disclosure relates generally to the field of medical devices. In particular, the present disclosure relates to delivering a variable length stent within a patient. In one example, a stent may include a body comprising coils about a longitudinal axis of the stent and along the length of the stent between a proximal end and a distal end in a substantially helical pattern. The coils may define a lumen along the longitudinal axis through the center of the body. A distal tube may have a wall extending from the distal end of the body. A first aperture may extend through the wall of the distal tube into the lumen. A distal retention member may extend from the distal tube. A distal suture may have a mid-portion. The mid-portion may extend through the first aperture.
