U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert expects a full recovery after undergoing a medical procedure on Tuesday at UCHealth Medical Center of the Rockies in Loveland to remove a blood clot from her leg, the Colorado Republican’s campaign said.
After experiencing “severe swelling” in her upper left leg, Boebert was admitted to the hospital on Monday and was diagnosed with May-Thurner syndrome, a condition that interrupts blood flow, her campaign said. Doctors successfully completed surgery to remove a blood clot and insert a stent, which addressed Boebert’s symptoms.
Following recommended rest, she’s expected to recover fully without significant long-term health concerns and should be able to resume normal activity.
