MMA - Middle Meningeal Artery embolization. Catheter inserted into arm or leg and guided to the MMA to inject a liquid glue to block blood flowing to the lining of the brain. Reduces inflammation and encouraged the body to reabsorb the blood. Easily tolerated and I felt fine immediately afterward with no after effects. Unfortunately my SDH continued to grow - while slightly, it needed another more involved procedure a month later.

Claudiajoyce,
How long does the procedure take? I’m hoping the patient would be asleep?
