Study Arms (1)

Participants with cSDH

All participants enrolled will be treated with the Balt coils. 1. MMA embolization: Utilize Balt Coils as stand-alone with or without other embolics treatment. 2. MMA embolization: Utilize Balt Coils in combination with or without embolics in surgical or bedside evacuation, such as: 1. MMA embolization in combination with Balt coils post-surgical debridement, or 2. MMA embolization using Balt coils alone, pre- or post-surgical debridement.

Device: Balt coils: (Balt USA, LLC)Procedure: MMA embolization

Interventions

Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

Patients with symptomatic chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH), with or without previous surgical evacuation that need additional treatment

You may qualify if:

  • Age ≥ 18
  • Patients experiencing unilateral or bilateral non-acute subdural hematoma confirmed by CT imaging. Acute on Chronic or mixed density hematoma allowed.
  • A clinical decision has been made to use coiling and/or embolics as treatment, with or without surgical debridement, independently as per standard of care and prior to enrollment in the study.
  • Signed informed consent obtained by patient or Legal Authorized Representative (LAR)

You may not qualify if:

  • Primary acute SDH
  • Prior MMAE in target territory
  • Premorbid mRS \> 3
  • Common carotid stenosis \>70% or prior carotid stent placement
  • Significant medical contraindication to angiography (kidney failure/disease)
  • Anatomical variations that would make MMA embolization difficult or unsafe
  • Currently participating in an investigational (drug, device, etc.) clinical trial that may confound study endpoints
  • Pregnancy
  • Life expectancy ≤ 1 year
