Rep. Lauren Boebert was hospitalized in Colorado after experiencing severe leg swelling and was diagnosed with May-Thurner Syndrome, undergoing successful surgery to remove a blood clot and insert a stent. She is expected to make a full recovery and expressed gratitude to the medical team. May-Thurner Syndrome is not particularly dangerous on its own, but can lead to life-threatening complications if a blood clot travels to the lungs. Boebert represents Colorado's 3rd Congressional District and is seeking the Congressional seat in the 4th district.
