Introduction
Middle meningeal artery embolization (MMAE) has emerged as a promising new treatment for patients with chronic subdural hematomas (cSDH). Its efficacy, however, upon the subtype with a high rate of recurrence—septated cSDH—remains undetermined.
Methods
From our prospective registry of patients with cSDH treated with MMAE, we classified patients based on the presence or absence of septations. The primary outcome was the rate of recurrence of cSDH. Secondary outcomes included a reduction in cSDH thickness, midline shift, and rate of reoperation.
Results
Among 80 patients with 99 cSDHs, the median age was 68 years (IQR 59–77) with 20% females. Twenty-eight cSDHs (35%) had septations identified on imaging. Surgical evacuation with burr holes was performed in 45% and craniotomy in 18.8%. Baseline characteristics between no-septations (no-SEP) and septations (SEP) groups were similar except for median age (SEP vs no-SEP, 72.5 vs. 65.5, p = 0.016). The recurrence rate was lower in the SEP group (SEP vs. no-SEP, 3 vs. 16.7%, p = 0.017) with higher odds of response from MMAE for septated lesions even when controlling for evacuation strategy and antithrombotic use (OR = 0.06, CI [0.006–0.536], p = 0.012). MMAE resulted in higher mean absolute thickness reduction (SEP vs. no-SEP, −8.2 vs. −4.8 mm, p = 0.016) with a similar midline shift change. The rate of reoperation did not differ (6.2 vs. 3.1%, p = 0.65).
Conclusion
MMAE appears to be equal to potentially more effective in preventing the recurrence of cSDH in septated lesions. These findings may aid in patient selection.
