Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the function of matched pair Aristotle 14 Guidewire and Plato Microcatheter in MMA embolization treatment for chronic subdural hematoma compared to surgeon's preference

Detailed description

If you agree to take part, you will have a 50/50 chance of being assigned to one of two groups. In group 1, your procedure will use the study devices. In group 2, your procedure will use devices chosen by your surgeon. The procedure and follow up are part of standard medical care. This means that taking part in the study will not mean more time or energy compared to the usual treatment you would have.

Interventions

DEVICEMatched pair Aristotle 14 guidewire and Plato 17 microcatheter

Participants will be randomized in 1:1 ratio to either use of study devices (matched pair Aristotle and Plato) or standard of care (surgeon combination preference) using block randomization method with a fixed block size of 4 ensuring 50% will be randomized to study devices group and 50% randomized to standard of care group.

DEVICESurgeon combination preference

Surgeon will decide the on guidewire and microcatheter to use for MMA embolization
