Middle meningeal artery embolization with subdural evacuating port system for primary management of chronic subdural hematomas

Austin Carpenter et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the experience of MMA embolization combined with SEPS placement as a first-line treatment for chronic subdural hematoma patients and found it to be a safe and effective option for patients with significant comorbidities and who are poor surgical candidates.

Efficacy and mid-term outcome of middle meningeal artery embolization with or without burr hole evacuation for chronic subdural hematoma compared with burr hole evacuation alone

Christina Onyinzo et al.

Summary: MMA embolization is a safe and effective minimally invasive adjuvant and/or alternative procedure for the treatment of CSDH, with a reduced recurrence rate. The combined treatment and embolization group had a significantly higher use of antiplatelet/anticoagulant medication compared to the surgery alone group. Patients who received MMA embolization combined with burr hole irrigation showed a trend towards fewer revision surgeries.

F. Al-Mufti et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates the safety and technical feasibility of using diluted n-BCA and ethiodized oil (1:6) for middle meningeal artery embolization. The use of a dextrose 5% bolus improves distal penetration of the glue.

Neuroanatomy of cranial dural vessels: implications for subdural hematoma embolization

Maksim Shapiro et al.

Summary: The adoption of middle meningeal artery embolization for chronic subdural hematomas has sparked a renewed interest in dural vascular anatomy. While major dural arteries and their embolization risks are well-documented, intrinsic dural angioarchitecture also plays a significant role in diseases like subdural hematoma and dural fistula, and advances in microvascular visualization are enabling a more comprehensive understanding of dural anatomy.

A propensity-adjusted comparison of middle meningeal artery embolization versus conventional therapy for chronic subdural hematomas

Joshua S. Catapano et al.

Summary: MMA embolization is associated with greater reduction in hematoma volume and fewer treatment failures compared to conventional therapy for chronic subdural hematomas, according to a propensity-adjusted analysis.

Middle meningeal artery embolization for chronic subdural hematoma: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Natasha Ironside et al.

Summary: MMA embolization is associated with lower rates of cSDH recurrence and surgical rescue compared to conventional management, with comparable in-hospital complication rates. It may reduce the need for surgical intervention in appropriately selected patients. More prospective studies are needed to evaluate its long-term effectiveness and establish it as a definitive treatment for cSDH.

Middle Meningeal Artery Embolization Versus Conventional Treatment of Chronic Subdural Hematomas

Alejandro Enriquez-Marulanda et al.

Summary: The study compared MMA embolization with conventional treatment for chronic subdural hematoma and found that there were no significant differences in complications, clinical improvement, cSDH recurrence, mortality, and overall re-intervention rates between the two groups. However, radiographic improvement at last follow-up was significantly higher in the open surgery cohort.
