BOSTON, Nov. 21, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Balt, Inc., a global technology leader in neurovascular devices, today announced the publication of The Squid Trial for the Embolization of the Middle meningeal artery (STEM) for the treatment of chronic Sub-Dural Hematoma in the New England Journal of Medicine. The study shows that among patients with symptomatic chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH), adjunctive middle meningeal artery (MMA) embolization resulted in a lower risk of treatment failure than standard treatment alone, without resulting in an increased incidence of disabling stroke or death in the short term. STEM is the first randomized prospective IDE trial investigating embolization of the MMA for the treatment of cSDH.
