Key Points

Evaluate the effectiveness and safety of middle meningeal artery embolization compared to conventional management in chronic subdural hematoma patients.
Conducted an umbrella review of recent high-quality meta-analyses.
Sourced data on efficacy and safety outcomes.
Focused on chronic subdural hematoma patients.
Middle meningeal artery embolization showed superior efficacy in managing chronic subdural hematoma.
Safety profiles of MMAE were comparable to conventional management approaches.
Data synthesis indicated a significant reduction in recurrence rates with MMAE.

Implication

Umbrella review synthesizes data on safety and efficacy of MMAE compared to conventional management for chronic subdural hematoma.

Abstract

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of middle meningeal artery embolization (MMAE) versus conventional management in patients with chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH) by synthesizing data from recent high-quality meta-analyses.
