Study Arms (3)
MMA Embolization
Adults with chronic subdural hematoma who underwent endovascular embolization of the middle meningeal artery as part of routine clinical care, using any embolic material
Surgical Evacuation
Adults with chronic subdural hematoma who underwent surgical drainage of the hematoma as part of routine clinical care.
Observation only
Adults with chronic subdural hematoma who were managed with clinical and imaging monitoring, without embolization or surgery.
Eligibility Criteria
Patients with chronic subdural hematoma
You may qualify if:
- Consecutive adult patients (18 yrs. of age or older)
- Endovascular embolization of middle meningeal artery using any embolization material:
- PVA particles; Onyx, N-butyl cyanoacrylate (nBCA) glue; dimethyl sulfoxide, microcoils, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) with microcoils
You may not qualify if:
- Endovascular embolization of middle meningeal artery using any other embolization material
