Article Synopsis
- Liquid embolic agents (LEAs), like ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH), are effective for treating chronic subdural hematomas (cSDH) by permanently blocking blood vessels and penetrating the membranes involved.
- A study analyzed CT scans from 74 patients who received MMAE with EVOH, looking at how LEA surface area (SA) affects cSDH resolution over time.
- Results showed significant reduction in hematoma volumes over several months and a positive correlation between LEA SA and cSDH resolution, indicating that better penetration of LEAs could lead to improved patient outcomes.
