Which embolic agent works best for brain bleeding? a trial aims to find out
NCT ID NCT07757113
First seen Aug 11, 2026 · Last updated Aug 12, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial compares three different embolic materials—particles, liquid embolics, and coils—used during a procedure called middle meningeal artery embolization to treat chronic subdural hematoma, a type of bleeding on the brain's surface. The study will enroll 30 adults undergoing this procedure and measure changes in hematoma size, complications, and recurrence rates. The goal is to see if one material is safer or more effective than the others.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Embolic agents (particles, liquid embolics, or coils) used during middle meningeal artery embolization
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could identify the best embolic material to reduce hematoma size and lower recurrence rates, improving outcomes for people with chronic subdural hematoma.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small pilot study, so results may not be definitive. The three materials may show similar outcomes, and individual risks like bleeding or complications vary.
