MMA Embolization for Chronic Subdural Hematoma

Preventing Recurrent Brain Bleeding

Chronic subdural hematoma is a collection of blood on the brain surface that develops slowly, often after minor head injury, especially in elderly patients. It can recur even after surgical drainage due to fragile membranes fed by the middle meningeal artery.

MMA embolization blocks these feeding vessels using a minimally invasive catheter technique. This reduces rebleeding, promotes hematoma resolution, and lowers recurrence risk without open surgery.

Symptoms Indicating Need for MMA Embolization

Chronic subdural hematoma may cause progressive neurological symptoms or recur after surgery. Early intervention is important to prevent deterioration. MMA embolization treats the underlying cause of rebleeding, stabilizes the hematoma, reduces recurrence, and improves recovery while avoiding repeated surgical procedures and associated risks in vulnerable patients.

Benefits of MMA Embolization

MMA embolization reduces recurrence of chronic subdural hematoma by eliminating the source of repeated bleeding. It avoids repeat surgery, minimizes complications, and supports gradual hematoma resolution. The minimally invasive approach offers faster recovery, shorter hospital stay, and safer management, particularly in elderly or high-risk patients with recurrent subdural collections.
