Event or Problem Description
As reported via the membrane study, a 52-year-old male (subject (b)(6)) with a medical history of headaches and previous head injury within the past 12 months, underwent middle meningeal artery (mma) embolization of a right parietal subdural hematoma (sdh) with frontal involvement with two burr hole placement on (b)(6) 2022.The patient was randomized into the surgical and mma embolization cohort of the study.The patient¿s baseline markwalder grading scale (mgs) score was 1 and the modified rankin scale (mrs) score was 0.The sdh thickness was 9.7mm.The mma embolization study procedure was performed on (b)(6) 2022 via right femoral access.Trufill n-bca-1 gram kit (631500 / jm3688) (2.2:1 oil: n-bca ratio) was delivered beyond midline via an echelon 10 microcatheter (medtronic) and a marathon microcatheter (medtronic).The anterior and posterior branches of the mma were embolized.In the opinion of the treating physician, the embolization was successful.The patient was discharged home for self-care on (b)(6) 2022 with a mini-mental state exam (mmse) score of 30, a markwalder grading scale (mgs) score of 1, and a modified rankin scale (mrs) score of 2.On (b)(6) 2022, 16 days after the mma procedure, the patient experienced the event of ¿partial seizures.¿ the principal investigator (pi) assessed this event as a serious, severe adverse event, that was not related to the study device, the mma embolization procedure, the medication used to treat the subdural hematoma (sdh), nor to the surgical procedure used to treat the sdh.Regarding whether the event was expected/anticipated, the answer field is recorded as ¿n/a (does not meet above criteria).¿ the event required hospitalization; the patient was admitted on (b)(6) 2022 and was discharged on (b)(6) 2022.The event required the diagnostic test of an ¿eeg,¿ and was medicinally treated.The outcome is noted as ¿recovered/resolved¿ with an end date of (b)(6) 2022.On (b)(6) 2022, the patient experienced the event of ¿worsening general headache,¿ which became known to the site on (b)(6) 2024 and to the sponsor on (b)(6) 2024.The principal investigator (pi) assessed this event as moderate in severity, not serious, and as possibly related to the study device, possibly related the mma embolization procedure, not related to the medication used to treat the subdural hematoma (sdh), and possibly related to the surgical procedure used to treat the sdh.Regarding whether the event was expected/anticipated, the answer field is recorded as ¿n/a (does not meet above criteria).¿ the event was treated with medication, and the outcome is noted as ¿recovered/resolved¿ with an end date of (b)(6) 2022.Additional/modified information was received on 28-aug-2024.Summary: on (b)(6) 2024, a clinical event committee (cec) adjudication for the adverse event of ¿partial seizures¿ was received.The relationship of event to the study device, mma embolization procedure, and surgical procedure used to treat the sdh, were assessed as ¿possibly related.¿ the relationship of event to the sdh medication remains as ¿not related.¿ it was further commented, ¿seizure related possibly to irritation from the embolization procedure or surgery with its close temporal time frame.¿.
