Middle meningeal artery embolization for chronic subdural hematoma using PHIL-LV: A case series.

ABSTRACT: BackgroundChronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is increasingly treated with middle meningeal artery embolization (MMAE). This study evaluated MMAE using a precipitating hydrophobic injectable liquid low viscosity (PHIL-LV) liquid embolic agent under general anaesthesia.MethodsConsecutive patients who underwent MMAE for CSDH with PHIL-LV at a single comprehensive neuroscience centre during a two-year period (2023-2025) were analysed. Patient clinical characteristics, imaging characteristics and procedural characteristics were recorded and described.ResultsTwenty-two patients (mean age 76 ± 13) were included in this study. Mean CSDH size was 18.4 ± 6.7 mm; 9/22 (40.9%) patients had a Charlson Comorbidity index >4. MMA embolization was successful in all 22/22 (100%) patients. Symptomatic improvem
