Overview

Scoping review synthesizes evidence on coil-only MMAE for chronic subdural hematoma, indicating a potential effective strategy.

Key Points

  • To synthesize available evidence on coil-only middle meningeal artery embolization (MMAE) for chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH).
  • Conducted a scoping review following PRISMA-ScR guidelines.
  • Performed literature searches across PubMed, Ovid Medline, Web of Science, and Scopus identifying 158 records.
  • Included 9 studies with 367 patients and 459 embolization procedures after detailed screening.
  • Recurrence rates for chronic subdural hematoma ranged from 0–17.6% across 7 of 9 studies.
  • Reintervention rates varied from 0–15.4% in 8 of 9 studies.
  • Reported complication rates ranged from 0–5%, with generally favorable radiographic outcomes where measured.
