Innovative 3D-Printed Surgical Guide for Radiation-Free Middle Meningeal Artery Coagulation in Chronic Subdural Hematoma: A Technical Note
This technical note describes a novel x-ray fluoroscopy-free or embolization method for middle meningeal artery (MMA) coagulation in chronic subdural hematoma (CSH) using 3D-printed surgical guides. This approach enables precise MMA targeting, reduces radiation exposure, and offers a cost-effective alternative to conventional embolization techniques, demonstrating improved accuracy in managing CSH.
