Doctor: First Lady's Kidney Procedure Low-Risk

(15 May 2018) The White House declared the Melania Trump's medical procedure "successful," but has withheld additional information about her condition, citing the first lady's right to privacy. Physicians who have no personal knowledge of Mrs. Trump's condition said the most likely explanation for the embolization procedure is a kind of noncancerous kidney tumor called an angiomyolipoma. Dr. Jordan Tasse, a vascular and interventional radiologist at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago says the angiomyolipoma is a relatively uncommon tumor that occurs in approximately one to three percent of the population and is more frequent in women in their 40s and 50s. Mrs. Trump is 48. The treatment involves cutting off the blood supply so the growth shrinks. Doctors do that with an embolization, meaning a catheter is snaked into the blood vessels of the kidney to find the right one and block it. Most of the time, these benign tumors are found when people undergo medical scans for another reason, but sometimes people have pain or other symptoms. Many times, embolization patients go home the same day or the next. The first lady was last seen in public at a White House event Wednesday where she and the president honored military mothers and spouses for Mother's Day. She later accompanied Trump to Joint Base Andrews in Maryland to welcome home three Americans who had been released from detention in North Korea. The Slovenia-born former model married Trump in 2005. They have a 12-year-old son, Barron.
