And where would the stent go so that it would not interfere with breathing, eating, talking?

Even if a flexible stent could be made and installed that improved breathing while allowing swallowing, I doubt anyone would be happy with the foreign-body sensation.

CPAP is a form of stent, and we all know the compliance issue with that.
