“This morning, First Lady Melania Trump underwent an embolization procedure to treat a benign kidney condition. The procedure was successful, and there were no complications,” Stephanie Grisham, the First Lady’s communication director, said in a statement.

An embolization is a minimally invasive surgery that can be used to treat a variety of issues. The goal of it is to stop any abnormal blood flow to a specific part of the body. This is done by inserting a catheter into a blood vessel, then pumping an embolic agent to stop the bleeding.
