Journal Article
Middle meningeal artery embolization reduces recurrence following surgery for septated chronic subdural hematomas
2024
Overview
Septated chronic subdural hematomas (cSDH) have high rates of recurrence despite surgical evacuation. Middle meningeal artery embolization (MMAE) has emerged as a promising adjuvant for secondary prevention, yet its efficacy remains ill-defined.
This is a retrospective review of septated cSDH cases treated at our institution. The surgery-only group was derived from cases performed before 2018, and the surgery+MMAE group was derived from cases performed 2018 or later. The primary outcome was reoperation rate. Secondary outcomes were recurrence, change in hematoma thickness, and midline shift.
A total of 34 cSDHs in 28 patients (surgery+MMAE) and 95 cSDHs in 83 patients (surgery-only) met the inclusion criteria. No significant difference in baseline characteristics between groups was identified. The reoperation rate was significantly higher in the surgery-only group (n = 16, 16.8%) compared with the surgery+MMAE cohort (n = 0, 0.0%) (p=0.006). A reduced incidence of recurrence (p=0.011) was also seen in the surgery+MMAE group.
MMAE for septated cSDH was found to be highly effective in preventing recurrence and reoperation. MMAE is an adjunct to surgical evacuation may be of particular benefit in this patient cohort.
•MMA embolization are effective in the prevention of radiographic recurrence of septated cSDHs after surgical evacuation.•MMA embolization are effective in preventing the need for re-operation of septated cSDHs after surgical evacuation.•MMA embolization are effective in Adverse events were around 7% in both groups.
