WASHINGTON, DC: Colorado Rep Lauren Boebert announced on Tuesday, April 2, that she had been diagnosed with May-Thurner syndrome following emergency surgery to remove a blood clot in her leg, as per New York Post.

Notably, Boebert was brought to Loveland's UCHealth Medical Center of the Rockies due to edema in her upper left thigh.

A statement on Facebook from her campaign read, "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."



 

Notably, Boebert's surgery to remove the blood clot and implant a stent to treat her symptoms was arranged and carried out by doctors on Tuesday morning.

According to UPMC, May-Thurner syndrome is an uncommon vascular disease where an artery compresses the pelvic's left iliac vein, preventing blood flow from the back of the leg to the heart.

To restore blood flow, some patients need surgery to clear the clogged vein and place a stent, which is a thin tube constructed of metal mesh. Patients may not exhibit any symptoms at first, but they may eventually experience blood clots, venous ulcers, and edema that can result in potentially fatal conditions including heart attacks and strokes.

While Boebert's campaign noted that 'dehydration, travel, and extended periods of sitting' were identified as potential contributors, the exact cause of her illness remains unknown.

May-Thurner syndrome is also more prevalent in women between the ages of 20 and 45 who have given birth.

Boebert expressed her gratitude to her medical team and expressed her eagerness to fully heal so she could return to Congress 'to continue fighting for Colorado.'

She added, "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."
