Analysis of middle meningeal artery embolization for the treatment of chronic, acute on chronic, and subacute subdural hematomas.

Background: Chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH) is a common sequela of traumatic brain injury. Middle meningeal artery embolization (MMAE) has shown promising results as an emerging minimally invasive alternative treatment. The purpose of this study is to examine the safety and efficacy of MMAE performed in patients with cSDH, acute-on-chronic, and subacute SDH with a traumatic etiology.
