Early middle meningeal artery embolization for small acute epidural hematomas: a clinical study from a single center

This series establishes MMA embolization as a prophylactic approach for small acute EDHs with skull fractures intersecting MMA branches. Early super-selective angiography is crucial for detecting vascular injuries, and subsequent embolization guided by intraoperative findings may reduce monitoring burden and the risk of delayed expansion in selected patients.
