Overview
- Perez Hilton said he was readmitted to Southern Hills in Las Vegas after sudden, severe leg pain left him needing a walker on Thursday.
- He reported that an ultrasound found a deep vein thrombosis running from his groin most of the way down his leg.
- Hilton said doctors planned an emergency thrombectomy, a procedure that removes large clots to restore blood flow.
- He told followers the clot could have reached his lungs or heart, and he thanked his medical team and asked for prayers as supporters, including Robbie Williams, sent messages.
- He recently spent 21 days in the hospital for sepsis after an ulcer and surgery, and doctors say long hospital stays, recent operations, and limited movement can raise the risk of DVT.
