Brief summary

Single site, prospective, comparative effectiveness pilot trial comparing efficacy and safety outcomes of three embolic materials (particles, liquid embolics, and Wallaby Phenox coils) in MMA embolication for cSDH.

Detailed description

Participants will be sequentially enrolled into one of three treatment arms based on the embolic material used during their MMA embolization: Cohort/Arm 1: Particles (polyvinyl alcohol or similar microspheres) Cohort/Arm 2: Liquid embolics (Onyx, n-BCA, or equivalent) Cohort/Arm 3: Phenox coils (Avenir UNO Helical Coil) Participants will remain on study through their standard 30- and 90-day follow-up visits. With a target of 30 patients (10 per arm), the study will provide preliminary data on radiographic efficacy (primary: hematoma resolution/thickness reduction), safety (complications, recurrence, adverse events, reinterventions), and exploratory outcomes (symptom/functional improvement, procedural metrics, influence of comorbidities/antithrombotics).

Interventions

DEVICEParticles (polyvinyl alcohol or similar microspheres)

Participants will be sequentially enrolled into one of three clinically accepted MMAE treatment strategies (interventions) to compare radiographic and clinical outcomes.

DEVICELiquid Embolics (Onyx, n-BCA, or equivalent)

Participants will be sequentially enrolled into one of three clinically accepted MMAE treatment strategies (interventions) to compare radiographic and clinical outcomes.

DEVICEPhenox Coils (Avenir UNO Helical Coil)

Participants will be sequentially enrolled into one of three clinically accepted MMAE treatment strategies (interventions) to compare radiographic and clinical outcomes.

Inclusion criteria

* Adult patients (≥ 18 years) * Undergoing Middle Meningeal Artery Embolization (MMAE) for chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH) * Able to provide informed consent or have a legally authorized representative (LAR) do so

Exclusion criteria

* Ineligible for MMAE procedure, as deemed by the treating physician, for any indication (e.g. pregnancy) * Non-chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH) indications for Middle Meningeal Artery Embolization (MMAE), including acute subdural hematoma with symptom onset \< 72 hours or mixed acute/chronic without predominant chronic features * Pregnancy or breastfeeding * Known severe allergy or contraindication to embolic materials (e.g. particles, liquids like Onyx/n-BCA, or coils) * Inability to undergo angiography (e.g. severe renal impairment contraindicating contrast) * Inability or unwillingness to complete follow-up visits at 30 and 90 days

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change in hematoma sizeBaseline, 90 daysThe primary objective aims to compare the radiographic efficacy of three embolic materials (particles, liquid embolics, Phenox coils) in MMA embolization for cSDH to evaluate change in hematoma size.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
ComplicationsBaseline, 90 daysThe secondary objectives aim to evaluate the safety profile of the embolic materials, to support overall comparative effectiveness.
Recurrence RatesBaseline, 90 daysThe secondary objectives aim to evaluate the the safety profile of the embolic materials, to support overall comparative effectiveness.
Adverse EventsBaseline, 90 daysThe secondary objectives aim to evaluate the the safety profile of the embolic materials, to support overall comparative effectiveness.
Re-Intervention RatesBaseline, 90 daysThe secondary objectives aim to evaluate the the safety profile of the embolic materials, to support overall comparative effectiveness.
