Supply costs ranged from approximately $5000 to $18 000. Onyx was significantly less expensive than nBCA in supply cost per patient ($7910 vs $10 241; P&lt;0.0001), cost per side ($6467 vs $7857; P=0.010), and cost per pedicle ($4375 vs $5369; P=0.012). Mean cost per patient was highest for nBCA and coils ($13 541 \u00b1 $1331), Onyx and coils ($12 364 \u00b1 $3259), and coils alone ($11 058 \u00b1 $1144). There were no significant differences in short-term complications (stroke, seizure, cranial nerve palsy, retreatment, hospital readmissions; P&gt;0.05), functional outcomes (modified Rankin Scale; P=0.813), or complete cSDH resolution (P=0.149) between embolic techniques.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>There is significant variation in supply cost associated with different MMA embolization techniques.
