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.

“We successfully performed surgery on the Congresswoman this morning and expect her to make a full recovery,” said the hospital’s Dr. Rebecca Bade in a statement released by Boebert’s campaign. “Patients with May-Thurner Syndrome who undergo the procedure to restore blood flow are able to live and work just as they have in the past after a brief recovery.”

Her campaign spokesman told Colorado Politics that Boebert was forced to cancel a speaking engagement scheduled for Wednesday but should be back on the campaign trail soon.

Boebert is one of nine Republicans running in a primary for the 4th Congressional District seat formerly held by Republican Ken Buck, who resigned from Congress last month. 

While the cause of May-Thurner Syndrome is unknown, it’s more prevalent in women between the ages of 20-45 who have given birth. Dehydration, travel and extended periods of sitting can be contributing factors, her campaign noted.

According to the Cleveland Clinic, the condition occurs when an artery that sends blood to the right leg presses against a vein that returns blood from the left leg to the heart. Some with the condition don’t experience symptoms, while others develop blood clots.

“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,” Boebert said in a statement. “I’m looking forward to making a full recovery and getting back to Congress to continue fighting for Colorado.”

The House is scheduled to return from a two-week Easter recess on April 9.
