ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Middle meningeal artery (MMA) embolization for subdural hematomas (SDH) and dural arteriovenous fistulas (dAVFs) has gained momentum in the neuroendovascular space. However, there is variability in the technique for safe and effective embolization. The aim of this report is to describe the technical feasibility and clinical performance of using Zoom™ 45 catheter for MMA access to facilitate embolization.METHODS:
We analyzed all cases of MMA embolization in which the Zoom™ 45 catheter was used and performed in our institution from February 2021 to March 2023 for SDH and dAVFs.RESULTS:
A total of 32 patients were included. Mean age was 64.0 ± 18.0 years, 75.0% (4/32) were male, and 56.7% (17/30), were black. The technical success was achieved in 93.8% (30/32) of cases, with selective embolization utilizing microcatheter directly into frontal and parietal branches for most patients (96.9%, 31/32). Identification of dangerous collaterals, such as lacrimal and petrous branches, prior to embolization, was achieved in most patients (96.9%, 31/32). Bilateral MMA embolization was done in 50.0% (16/32) of patients. The transradial approach and transfemoral approach were used in 53.1% (17/32) and 46.9% (15/32) of patients, respectively. The most common embolization material was n-butyl cyanoacrylate (84.4%, 27/32). There were no access site complications or complications related to the MMA embolization procedures and used devices.CONCLUSIONS:
The use of Zoom™ 45 Catheter seems to be technically feasible, safe, and effective for facilitating MMA access for embolization in the context of SDH and dAVFs.
