Endovascular middle meningeal artery (MMA) embolization is an emerging treatment for chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH). There is preliminary data to suggest that this minimally invasive therapy may be more efficacious and equally as safe compared to conventional, more invasive surgery. This study seeks to assess the safety and efficacy of middle meningeal artery embolization for chronic subdural hematoma as an adjunct to standard treatments, which include medical management and surgical evacuation.
