Rep. Lauren Boebert Undergoes Successful Surgery for Rare Vascular Condition

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (R-CO) underwent emergency surgery after a diagnosis of May-Thurner Syndrome, a rare vascular condition causing a blood clot in her leg.

Doctors at UCHealth Medical Center expect a full recovery. Boebert expressed gratitude for the care received and vowed to continue serving Colorado. May-Thurner syndrome, though not always life-threatening, poses risks if untreated.

Boebert’s treatment coincides with her political battle, having moved districts and leading a GOP field amidst challenges for House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA). Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) criticized Johnson’s leadership, furthering tensions within the party.
