Embolisation der A. meningea media bei chronisch subduralen Hämatomen: ein vielversprechender Therapieansatz

Die Embolisation der A. meningea media findet zur Behandlung des chronischen Subduralhämatoms eine zunehmende Verbreitung und Akzeptanz. Die folgende Arbeit vermittelt eine Übersicht über die Thematik, fasst den aktuellen Forschungstand zusammen und beschreibt das technische Vorgehen.

Kernaussagen

• Inflammatorische und assoziierte angioneogenetische Prozesse spielen eine wichtige Rolle bei der Entstehung eines chronisch subduralen Hämatoms.

• Die Embolisation der A. meningea media ist eine vielversprechende neue minimalinvasive Behandlungsmöglichkeit des chronisch subduralen Hämatoms.

• Die Embolisation der A. meningea media kann die Resorption des Hämatoms unterstützen und die Rezidivwahrscheinlichkeit senken.

• Die Embolisation der A. meningea media kann sowohl als alleinige Therapie als auch ergänzend zur chirurgischen Therapie und nicht operativen Standardtherapie zur Behandlung eines chronisch subduralen Hämatoms zum Einsatz kommen.
