About this trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to test whether infusing bevacizumab into the middle meningeal arteries can be used to treat chronic subdural hematomas (cSDH).

The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Is bevacizumab infusion safe in cSDH patients? * Is bevacizumab infusion effective in treating cSDH?

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Adult patients (≥18 years)

Radiographic evidence of chronic subdural hematoma, including

Persistence of subdural blood more than 10 days after index traumatic injury or event

Presence of mixed density blood

Disqualifiers

Pregnant, breastfeeding, or unwilling to practice contraception during participation in the study.

Patients with concomitant intracranial pathology other than subdural hematoma (e.g., intracranial malignancy).

Patients with known hypersensitivity to bevacizumab.

Patients with radiographic evidence of mass effect.
