1. A device for delivering a stent to a patient for implantation comprising: (i) a first tubular structure having a proximal end, a distal end, and a lumen extending therethrough;(ii) a second tubular structure having a proximal end, a distal end, and a lumen extending therethrough;(iii) the stent having a proximal end and a distal end;(iv) a stent-engaging member;(v) a distal tip; and(vi) a handle positioned over a portion of the proximal end of the first tubular structure, wherein the handle is funnel-shaped and configured to receive the distal end of the stent therein,wherein said stent is disengagedly coupled to the second tubular structure via the stent-engaging member, wherein the second tubular structure is positioned within the first tubular structure and the stent is movable with respect to the first tubular structure, wherein the stent is positioned external to the second tubular structure, wherein the stent-engaging member is positioned between the second tubular structure and the stent, wherein the stent-engaging member is positioned in its entirety internal to the stent, wherein the distal tip is configured to attach to the distal end of the second tubular structure after insertion of the stent into the device, and wherein the stent-engaging member is selected from the group consisting of an annular protuberance, a flat holder, and an anchor. 2. The device of claim 1, wherein the stent is positioned within the first tubular structure. 3. The device of claim 1, wherein the distal end of said first tubular structure is aligned with the distal end of the second tubular structure. 4. The device of claim 1, wherein the stent-engaging member is disengageably attached to the second tubular structure. 5. The device of claim 4, wherein the stent-engaging member is disengageably attached to the stent. 6. The device of claim 1, wherein the second tubular structure comprises the stent-engaging member. 7. The device of claim 1, wherein the first tubular structure comprises a marker. 8. The device of claim 7, wherein the marker is selected from the group consisting of ink, thread and combinations thereof. 9. The device of claim 7, wherein the marker is radiopaque. 10. The device of claim 1, further comprising a second stent-engaging member. 11. The device of claim 1, wherein the distal tip comprises a lock that engages the distal end of the second tubular structure upon the distal tip being inserted into the distal end of the second tubular structure. 12. The device of claim 1, wherein the distal tip comprises a thread that engages the distal end of second tubular structure. 13. The device of claim 1, further comprising a locking clip, wherein the distal tip defines a first slot, the distal end of the second tubular structure defines a second slot, and wherein the locking clip is placed within the first slot and second slot. 14. A stent delivery assembly comprising a device for delivering a stent to a patient for implantation, said device comprising: (i) a first tubular structure having a proximal end, a distal end, and a lumen extending therethrough;(ii) a second tubular structure having a proximal end, a distal end, and a lumen extending therethrough;(iii) the stent having a proximal end and a distal end;(iv) a stent-engaging member;(v) a distal tip; and(vi) a handle positioned over a portion of the proximal end of the first tubular structure, wherein the handle is funnel-shaped and configured to receive the distal end of the stent therein,wherein said stent is disengagedly coupled to the second tubular structure via the stent-engaging member, wherein the second tubular structure is positioned within the first tubular structure and the stent is longitudinally movable within the first tubular structure and deployable therefrom, wherein the stent is positioned external to the second tubular structure, wherein the stent-engaging member is positioned between the second tubular structure and the stent, wherein the stent-engaging member is positioned in its entirety internal to the stent, wherein the distal tip is configured to attach to the distal end of the second tubular structure after insertion of the stent into the device, and wherein the stent-engaging member is selected from the group consisting of an annular protuberance, a flat holder, and an anchor. 15. The assembly of claim 14, wherein the distal tip comprises a lock that engages the distal end of the second tubular structure upon the distal tip being inserted into the distal end of the second tubular structure. 16. The assembly of claim 14, wherein the distal tip comprises a thread that engages the distal end of second tubular structure. 17. The assembly of claim 14, further comprising a locking clip, wherein the distal tip defines a first slot, the distal end of the second tubular structure defines a second slot, and wherein the locking clip is placed within the first slot and second slot. 18. A device for delivering a stent to a patient for implantation comprising: (i) a first tubular structure having a proximal end, a distal end, and a lumen extending therethrough;(ii) a second tubular structure having a proximal end, a distal end, and a lumen extending therethrough;(iii) the stent having a proximal end and a distal end;(iv) a stent-engaging portion;(v) a distal tip; and(vi) a handle positioned over a portion of the proximal end of the first tubular structure, wherein the handle is funnel-shaped and configured to receive the distal end of the stent therein,wherein said stent is disengagedly coupled to the second tubular structure via the stent-engaging portion, wherein the second tubular structure is positioned within the first tubular structure and the stent is movable with respect to the first tubular structure, wherein the stent-engaging portion is positioned in its entirety internal to the stent, wherein the distal tip is configured to attach to the distal end of the second tubular structure after insertion of the stent into the device, and wherein the stent-engaging portion is part of the second tubular structure itself. 19. The device of claim 18, wherein the stent-engaging portion comprises a barb, a flap, a pattern, a bump, an annular ridge, a tacky layer, a divot, and combinations thereof. 20. The device of claim 18, wherein the distal tip comprises a lock that engages the distal end of the second tubular structure upon the distal tip being inserted into the distal end of the second tubular structure. 21. The device of claim 18, wherein the distal tip comprises a thread that engages the distal end of second tubular structure. 22. The device of claim 18, further comprising a locking clip, wherein the distal tip defines a first slot, the distal end of the second tubular structure defines a second slot, and wherein the locking clip is placed within the first slot and second slot.
