Case report demonstrates cervical stent placement with endotracheal tubes in mares with pyometra, indicating a cost-effective treatment option.
Summary Equine pyometra is an uncommon but potentially life‐threatening condition in mares. The novel use of endotracheal tubes (designed for intubation of small animal veterinary patients) to create cervical stents offers an inexpensive and accessible method of medical pyometra management. Cervical stent placement can be combined with more invasive surgical procedures as dictated by each individual mare's anatomy.
