Middle Meningeal Artery Embolization for the Management of Chronic Subdural Hematoma.
Curēus 2023 October
Introduction Chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH) results from neovascularization of the subdural capsular membrane and embolization of the Middle Meningeal Artery (MMA) helps inhibit the same and prevent recurrence. Materials and methods We retrospectively reviewed the endovascular management for chronic SDH in 29 patients between 2018 to 2022. The parameters analyzed were clinical history, radiologic imaging findings, procedure details, and angiographic and clinical outcomes. Results Twenty-nine MMA embolization procedures were done. Follow-up MRI or CT done in 28 subjects, showed complete resolution in 25 patients and a significant reduction in bilateral SDH in three patients. One patient died due to renal failure and aspiration pneumonia-related complications. Ninety days mRS (modified Rankin scale) was 0 in 25 patients (86%), one in two patients, and two in one patient. Conclusions MMA embolization for chronic SDH is a feasible, safe, and effective technique in patients with chronic and recurrent SDH.
