Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) was hospitalized on Monday after “experiencing severe swelling in her upper left leg” and ultimately underwent surgery for a blood clot, her campaign team said in a statement.

The lawmaker, 37, was admitted to the UCHealth Medical Center of the Rockies in Loveland, where she underwent a CT scan. Doctors diagnosed her with May-Thurner Syndrome (MTS), a rare condition that disrupts blood flow, according to her campaign.
