Microcatheter for subdural hematoma treatment
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial studies a new, tiny device (microcatheter) used to block blood flow to the lining of the brain in people with a subdural hematoma (a type of blood clot on the brain). The goal is to see if this device helps stop the bleeding and reduces the need for surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You or a family member can sign a consent form.
- You have a subdural hematoma (blood clot on the brain) that is mostly old blood.
- You were able to live independently before this condition (no more than slight disability).
- You do not have an uncontrolled bleeding disorder.
- You do not have an active infection, brain tumor, or other mass in the brain.

This trial studies a procedure called middle-meningeal-artery embolization, which blocks the blood supply to a chronic subdural hematoma (a slow-growing blood collection around the brain). It compares outcomes in people with one-sided versus both-sided bleeds, and aims to see if this less invasive treatment can help reduce the need for surgery or improve recovery.
This trial compares two ways to treat a chronic subdural hematoma (a long-lasting bleed between the brain and its covering): blocking a specific artery versus standard surgery to remove the blood. It may help you and your care team choose the safer and more effective option for your situation.
This trial tests a procedure called middle meningeal artery embolization, which aims to stop the bleeding and reduce the fluid buildup from a chronic subdural hematoma. It may be an option for patients who have a hematoma at least 10mm thick and one or more risk factors such as older age, blood thinners, diabetes, or certain scan features.
This trial compares a newer, less invasive treatment (embolization) with traditional surgery to treat chronic subdural hematoma (a slow bleed on the brain). It aims to see which approach works better and has fewer side effects.
This trial tests a new surgery for chronic subdural hematoma, which is a collection of blood on the brain. In addition to standard drainage, doctors will try to stop a key artery from bleeding, which may reduce the chance of the hematoma coming back.
This trial looks at how well a procedure called middle meningeal artery embolization works for people with chronic subdural hematoma (a collection of old blood on the brain's surface). It uses specific materials to block the blood supply to the hematoma, which may help the body reabsorb it without surgery.
