Conditions

Subdural Hematoma, Subdural Hematoma, Chronic

Brief summary

The aim of the study is to proof the effectiveness of Histoacryl® on preventing recurrence or progression of subdural hematoma after embolization of the middle meningeal artery.

Interventions

DEVICEHistoacryl®

Histoacryl® is used by direct needle puncture, transcatheter approach, or transendoscopic approach in vascular embolization for the described purposes.

Inclusion criteria

* 18 years old or older * Confirmed diagnosis of chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) or recurrent subdural hematoma (SDH) * Completed documented informed consent * Willingness and presumed capability to participate in follow-up visits for up to 6 months (180±30 days)

Exclusion criteria

* Extensive cerebral infarction, brain tumor, or space-occupying lesion requiring treatment * Need craniotomy * Any sign of anatomical variations that could make MMA embolization unsafe (e.g., prominent MMA-opthalmic artery anastomoses) * Coagulation dysfunction with INR\>1.8 and/or platelet count \<80x109 /L * Allergic reactions to essential medicines to do angiography * Women who are pregnant, lactating, or who are of childbearing age and plan on becoming pregnant during the study * Participation in another clinical trial

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Recurrence or progression of subdural hematomawithin 3 monthsRecurrence will be described as maximum thickness of SDH exceeding 10 mm, recurrence of symptoms or the patient requiring reoperation, meaning a second burr-hole drainage due to SDH. \*\*Progression will be described as maximum thickness of SDH increasing over 3 mm compared to the baseline.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Efficacy (1. Time)V1, preoperatively (baseline visit)Time period from symptoms to embolization
Efficacy (2. Time)V2, surgery (index procedure)Time period from burr-hole drainage to embolization
Efficacy (3. Time)6 monthsTime period from embolization to recurrence
Efficacy (4. Hematoma thickness)at V4: 3 months and V5: 6 months compared to baselineChange in hematoma thickness
Efficacy (5. Change in midlind shift)at V4: 3 months and V5: 6 monthsChange in midline shift compared to baseline
Efficacy (6. Cognitive assessment)V1: preoperatively, V3: discharge, V4: 3 months and V5: 6 monthsMini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) from 0 (severe cognitive impairment) to 30 (no cognitive impairment)
Quality of life, EQ-5D-5LV1: preoperatively, V3: discharge, V4: 3 months and V5: 6 monthsassessed by EQ-5D scale from 0 (worst health) to 100 (best health)
