Leven Rambin's Near-Fatal Surgery: "Lucky to Be Alive"

Actress Leven Rambin recently underwent a "routine" laparoscopic procedure to treat endometriosis. However, complications arose during the surgery, leading to Rambin waking up in the intensive care unit. She revealed that her surgeon "accidentally nicked" her aorta, the body's largest artery, a complication she described as nearly fatal. Rambin shared that medical professionals informed her she was "lucky to be alive" following the incident. She required a blood transfusion and extensive medication during her ICU stay.

Following the procedure, Rambin was diagnosed with stage one endometriosis and polyps. She is expected to remain under close observation in the ICU for several more days. This unexpected and extended recovery period has unfortunately forced her to withdraw from an upcoming Netflix project. Rambin, who has also appeared in The Hunger Games and All My Children, is continuing her recovery.
