It develops due to hemorrhage to the subdural space, mainly caused by head trauma. The middle meningeal artery (MMA) plays a critical role in the supply of blood to c-SDH. The decision on the type of treatment for c-SDH depends mainly on clinical and imaging evaluation. In cases in which patients are critically ill, the hematoma must be evacuated immediately. For this purpose, surgery is generally accepted as the mainstay of treatment. Among surgical techniques, twist-drill craniotomy, burr-hole craniotomy, and craniotomy are the three most used. The recurrence rate of c-SDH after surgery is an important problem with a rate of up to 30%. The technical success classification embolization of MMA (EMMA) has emerged as an effective and safe option for the treatment of c-SDH, especially those that recur. EMMA is commonly used as an adjunct to surgery or less frequently alone. The technical success of EMMA has been a promising minimal invasive strategy as an alternative or adjunctive therapy to surgical methods. Polyvinyl alcohol is the most widely used among various embolizing agents, including n-butyl cyanoacrylate, coil, and gelatin sponge. EMMA has been shown to prevent the formation or recurrence of c-SDH by eliminating blood flow to the subdural space. Complication rates are low. The large-scale comparative prospective will ensure efficacy and safety. This article aims to highlight the current information about EMMA in patients with c-SDH.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4103\/bc.bc_65_23","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,21]],"date-time":"2024-03-21T12:02:47Z","timestamp":1711022567000},"page":"28-34","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Featured
