Donald Trump’s chronic venous insufficiency could lead to amputation, warns doctor
Washington: Concerns over US President Donald Trump’s health grew after medical experts warned that his recently diagnosed chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) could, if left untreated, lead to severe complications including unhealing leg wounds and even amputation.
Mimmie Kwong, associate professor of vascular surgery at UC Davis Health, explained that worsening CVI can cause persistent swelling, skin changes, and ultimately unhealing ulcers. “If they get worse it could lead to amputations,” she cautioned. Patients with CVI are also at higher risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
Therapies to manage the condition include leg elevation, staying active, compression stockings, ablation techniques, phlebectomy, or chemical injections.
The White House has downplayed concerns, attributing Trump’s visible bruising to “frequent, forceful handshakes and the use of aspirin.” Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said all medical reports show that Trump remains fit. White House physician Sean Barbarella described the President as being in “excellent condition,” noting only mild leg swelling and dismissing fears of heart, kidney, or systemic illness.
Speculation about Trump’s health intensified after images in July showed bruising and leg swelling, followed by viral rumors online claiming he was gravely ill. On August 30, Trump was photographed leaving the White House with his grandchildren to visit his Virginia golf club, quelling some of the speculation.
Vice President JD Vance, meanwhile, stated that he is ready to assume the presidency “in the event of a terrible tragedy,” further fueling political chatter around Trump’s condition.
