The subdural hematoma will gently drain away within two to four days. Middle Meningeal Artery (MMA) Embolization. MMA embolization is a minimally invasive, non-surgical procedure that takes place in ...

However, after a hematoma has been surgically drained, it recurs about 15% of the time, requiring another surgery and hospitalization. The hematoma recruits arterial blood vessels that keep it alive.

The primary endpoint was symptomatic recurrence/progression of subdural hematoma or death within 90 days, and this was reduced with MMA embolization (7.2% vs 12.2%; P = 0.02). Subgroup analyses ...

Dr. Knopman and his colleagues are now determining what role upfront MMA embolization could have in treating patients with chronic subdural hematomas that are not large enough for surgery.

Three new randomized trials, EMBOLISE, MAGIC-MT, and STEM, showed convincing benefits for use of an endovascular embolization procedure in patients with a subdural hematoma.

A novel combination of surgery and embolization used to treat subdural hematomas, bleeding between the brain and its protective membrane due to trauma, reduces the risk of follow-up surgeries ...

A novel imaging analysis technique registered a high degree of sensitivity and specificity in identifying both presence and type of subdural hematoma, or SDH, data from a comparative analysis show ...

Top: CT scans show a subdural hematoma on the brain's left side (colored pink), measuring up to 19 mm in width with a brain shift of 8 mm. Bottom: Six weeks after embolization treatment, the ...
