1. A bi-flow nasal stent comprising:
first and second tube-like elements; and
a bridge connecting the first and second tube-like elements;
wherein each of the first and second tube-like elements comprises a distal end, a proximal end, and a lumen extending therebetween, and further wherein each of the first and second tube-like elements comprises a top side, a medial side, a bottom side, and a lateral side collectively forming the tube-like element;
wherein first and second V-shaped cutouts are formed at the distal ends of each of the first and second tube-like elements, with the first V-shaped cutout extending proximally from a 12 o'clock position in the top sides of the first and second tube-like elements and the second V-shaped cutout extending proximally from a 6 o'clock position in the bottom sides of the first and second tube-like elements while the bridge connects and extends from the proximal end of the first tube-like element at a 3 o'clock position on the medial side of the first tube-like element to the proximal end of the second tube-like element at a 9 o'clock position on the medial side of the second tube-like element, with the first and second V-shaped cutouts being diametrically opposed to one another so as to divide each of the first and second tube-like elements into a medial side portion and a lateral side portion, with the medial side portion and the lateral side portion being connected together by a pair of diametrically-opposed connecting elements.
