Middle-meningeal-artery embolization for chronic subdural hematoma
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a chronic subdural hematoma (a slow blood collection on the brain) that is pushing on the brain and causing symptoms.
- You have a stable bleed (not getting worse) confirmed by a recent CT scan.
- You are able to have the embolization procedure (the doctor has checked that the blood vessel access is okay).
- You are willing to follow all study visits and procedures.

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 minimally invasive procedure to treat chronic subdural hematoma (a slow bleed on the brain). It aims to stop the bleeding and reduce the risk of needing surgery.
This study looks at a procedure called middle meningeal artery embolization, which blocks blood flow to the lining of the brain to help treat a chronic subdural hematoma (a slow bleed on the brain surface). The goal is to see how well this procedure works for adults.
This trial tests adding a drug called bevacizumab (given directly into the blood vessels of the brain) to the standard procedure of middle meningeal artery embolization for a chronic subdural hematoma (a slow blood clot on the brain). The goal is to see if the combination helps reduce the chance of the clot returning.
This trial compares different materials used during a procedure to treat chronic subdural hematoma, a collection of old blood on the brain's surface. The goal is to see which material works best to prevent the blood from coming back.
