Lauren Boebert Undergoes Emergency Surgery to Remove Blood Clot
Rep. Lauren Boebert’s (R-CO) campaign revealed Tuesday evening that the congresswoman underwent emergency surgery to take out a blood clot.
The 37-year-old Boebert was checked in to UCHealth Medical Center of the Rockies in Loveland while experiencing swelling in her upper left leg, according to the campaign statement on the matter.
“After undergoing a CT Scan, doctors found an acute blood clot and diagnosed her with May-Thurner Syndrome, which is a rare condition that disrupts blood flow,” read the statement. “An exact cause is unknown, but dehydration, travel, and extended periods of sitting have all been identified as potential factors in causing symptoms of May-Thurner Syndrome.”
“I want to thank Dr. Rebecca Bade and the entire team at UCHealth Medical Center of the Rockies for their great care and providing helpful insight on my recent diagnosis,” commented Boebert. “I’m looking forward to making a full recovery and getting back to Congress to continue fighting for Colorado.”
While no timeline has been set for Boebert’s return to Washington, DC, she is expected to make a full recovery.
