Observational analysis shows high safety and effectiveness of coil embolization in chronic subdural hematoma patients, suggesting potential changes in treatment approaches.
Key Points
Standalone coils achieved high technical success with no major complications in 77 patients with chronic subdural hematoma.
Radiological resolution or improvement reached 95.1% by 4-6 months post-embolization, emphasizing effectiveness.
Analysis of procedures revealed a mean fluoroscopy time of 23.8 minutes, demonstrating efficiency in treatment.
Results suggest distal embolization may enhance hematoma resolution, highlighting a need for further long-term studies.
