1. A delivery system for delivering an occlusal stent to a target lung passageway comprising:

  • a placement instrument configured for endobronchial advancement into a lung passageway leading to the target lung passageway, the instrument having a proximal end, a distal end, a working lumen extending therethrough;

    a delivery catheter having a proximal end, a distal end and a receptacle formable within its distal end for loading the occlusal stent therein, the delivery catheter configured to be advanced through the working lumen of the placement instrument so that its distal end extends beyond the distal end of the placement instrument, and wherein its distal end is retractable so that retraction of its distal end releases the occlusal stent to the target lung passageway; and

    a clamp connector attachable to the working lumen and having a passageway that allows passage of the delivery catheter through the passageway and into the working lumen of the placement instrument.
