Astronauts returning from space face unique circulatory challenges, including an increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE), a condition that also affects millions on Earth. This blog explores the connection between spaceflight and blood clots, highlighting key risk factors such as prolonged immobility, dehydration, and genetic predisposition. By learning from astronauts' experiences, readers can take proactive steps—like staying active, hydrated, and wearing compression stockings—to protect their vein health and reduce the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE).
Non-surgical treatments for vein problems can help manage symptoms but do not address the root cause—chronic venous insufficiency. While lifestyle changes like exercise, a healthy diet, leg elevation, and compression stockings can provide temporary relief, they won’t eliminate varicose veins. For lasting results, minimally invasive procedures such as sclerotherapy, endovenous laser ablation (EVLA), radiofrequency ablation (RFA), and VenaSeal™ offer safe, effective solutions with little to no downtime.
Center for Vein Restoration (CVR) proudly welcomes Dr. Steven Samuel and Comprehensive Vein Care in Jeffersonville, Indiana, into its network, strengthening its presence in the state. Dr. Samuel, a nationally recognized surgeon with over 37 years of experience, transitioned to venous medicine after personally experiencing vein issues and discovering the transformative benefits of modern treatments. His expertise in minimally invasive vein procedures has helped countless patients regain mobility and comfort. This partnership ensures that Comprehensive Vein Care patients will continue receiving top-tier vein treatment while benefiting from CVR’s expanded resources and innovations.
If you suspect a blood clot, acting quickly is crucial to prevent serious complications. Blood clots, particularly deep vein thrombosis (DVT), can cause pain, swelling, and even life-threatening conditions like pulmonary embolism. This blog, reviewed by board-certified vein specialist Dr. Michael Cornwell, MD, FACS, explains what a blood clot is, the warning signs to watch for, and when to seek emergency care.
Living with chronic vein disease isn’t just about physical discomfort—it can take a toll on your emotional well-being, too.

Fortunately, safe and effective treatments are available to restore both your vein health and confidence. Discover how Center for Vein Restoration’s minimally invasive procedures can help you reclaim your comfort and quality of life.
