Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a prospective, multi-center, post market registry study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of treatment with Balt coils in patients with chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The primary objective of this observational registry study is to assess the safety and efficacy of Balt Coils as an adjunct to middle meningeal artery (MMA) embolization in a real-world setting among patients undergoing treatment for chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH), and explore correlations between patient characteristics, clinical characteristics, and outcomes. By collecting comprehensive, real-world data, the registry will characterize procedural inputs, document clinical and radiographic outcomes, and explore variation in technique and practice setting. The overarching goal is to generate a more complete understanding of Middle Meningeal Artery Embolization (MMAE) in diverse clinical environments, inform future prospective studies, and guide evidence-based adoption of this evolving therapy. Patients may be treated with Balt coils regardless of enrollment in the study as the decision to place the coils should be made independently as per standard of care and prior to enrollment in the study.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Participants with cSDH

All participants enrolled will be treated with the Balt coils.

1. MMA embolization: Utilize Balt Coils as stand-alone with or without other embolics treatment.
2. MMA embolization: Utilize Balt Coils in combination with or without embolics in surgical or bedside evacuation, such as:

1. MMA embolization in combination with Balt coils post-surgical debridement, or
2. MMA embolization using Balt coils alone, pre- or post-surgical debridement.
