White House Confirms Trump Has Mild Chronic Venous Insufficiency

Thorough exams found no deep vein thrombosis, with only minor lower-leg swelling detected.

Overview

  • Medical staff conducted comprehensive vascular diagnostics, including bilateral Doppler ultrasounds of his lower limbs, to pinpoint the circulatory issue.
  • The White House noted slight leg swelling and small ecchymoses on his hands as indicators of the condition.
  • Spokesperson Karoline Leavitt described the diagnosis as benign and said no invasive treatments are required.
  • Chronic venous insufficiency is common among adults over 70 when weakened venous valves allow blood to pool in the legs.
  • Physicians recommend non-invasive therapies such as compression stockings, regular walking and weight management to improve circulation.
