Direct superficial temporal artery access for middle meningeal artery embolization

We report a case where a patient with symptomatic left-sided chronic subdural hemorrhage also had an external carotid artery occlusion. Direct puncture of the superficial temporal artery allowed retrograde access to the internal maxillary artery and thus the middle meningeal artery. Successful embolization of the vessel with 1:9 nBCA was performed with near total resorption of the subdural collection by 1 month postprocedure.PMID:38196319 | DOI:10.1177/15910199231225832
