Coil treatment may prevent brain bleed recurrence
NCT ID NCT07291427
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether using special coils to block blood vessels can help treat chronic subdural hematoma, a type of brain bleed common in older adults. Researchers will enroll 150 people to see if the procedure reduces bleeding and prevents the need for repeat surgery. The approach is already used in some cases, but this trial aims to confirm its safety and effectiveness.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Balt coils (detachable coils used to block blood vessels)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a less invasive way to prevent chronic subdural hematomas from coming back after treatment.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage registry study, not a randomized trial. The device may not reduce recurrence, and risks include stroke or other complications.

Inclusion criteria: * Age ≥ 18 * Patients experiencing unilateral or bilateral non-acute subdural hematoma confirmed by CT imaging. Acute on Chronic or mixed density hematoma allowed. * A clinical decision has been made to use coiling and/or embolics as treatment, with or without surgical debridement, independently as per standard of care and prior to enrollment in the study. * Signed informed consent obtained by patient or Legal Authorized Representative (LAR) Exclusion criteria: * Primary acute SDH * Prior MMAE in target territory * Premorbid mRS \> 3 * Common carotid stenosis \>70% or prior carotid stent placement * Significant medical contraindication to angiography (kidney failure/disease) * Anatomical variations that would make MMA embolization difficult or unsafe * Currently participating in an investigational (drug, device, etc.) clinical trial that may confound study endpoints * Pregnancy * Life expectancy ≤ 1 year
