Minimally Invasive Solutions for Brain Bleeding

A chronic subdural hemorrhage (SDH) occurs when blood slowly accumulates between the brain and its outer covering, often due to minor head trauma or aging-related changes in blood vessels. Over time, this can cause headaches, confusion, balance issues, or neurological symptoms.

How It Works

Using real-time fluoroscopy (X-ray imaging) and angiography, our interventional radiologists perform:

🔹 Middle Meningeal Artery (MMA) Embolization – A small catheter is guided through the arteries to deliver embolic agents (such as tiny particles or medical glue) to the middle meningeal artery. This helps stop ongoing bleeding, prevent rebleeding, and promote natural reabsorption of the collected blood.

This technique is a minimally invasive alternative to traditional surgical drainage, offering faster recovery and a lower risk of complications.

Why Is This Procedure Done?

• To relieve symptoms such as headaches, confusion, and dizziness
• To prevent further bleeding and reduce the need for invasive brain surgery
• As a safe, outpatient procedure with quicker recovery time
• To improve long-term brain function and prevent recurrence
