See full description
Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with a confirmed diagnosis of subacute or chronic subdural hematoma, who are relatively independent in daily activities (Modified Rankin Score ≤3), and can consent to treatment. Excluded are those with life expectancy <1 year, severe symptoms (Markwalder score ≥ 3), active COVID-19, pregnancy, acute SDH, uncontrolled bleeding disorders, suspected infections within the brain, unsafe anatomy for the procedure, tumors or mass lesions in the brain, contraindications to angiography or Onyx™ LES use.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if blocking blood flow to the affected area using Onyx™ Liquid Embolic System through embolization of middle meningeal artery is safe and effective for treating symptomatic subacute/chronic subdural hematomas compared to no treatment or standard surgical management.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include complications from embolization such as inflammation around the treated area, allergic reactions to materials used like Onyx™ LES during embolization procedure; risks associated with angiography; and general risks related to invasive procedures.
