"Understanding May-Thurner Syndrome: Lauren Boebert's Diagnosis and Treatment"

May-Thurner syndrome, a condition affecting blood flow, gained attention after Rep. Lauren Boebert was diagnosed and hospitalized with severe swelling in her upper left leg, undergoing surgery to remove a blood clot and insert a stent. The syndrome occurs when the left iliac vein is compressed by the right iliac artery, making it difficult for blood to flow back to the heart and potentially leading to deep vein thrombosis. Symptoms include swelling, heaviness in legs, and varicose veins, and treatment options range from blood thinners to surgery.
