Description
Blood pooling on the brain's surface can come back after surgery, forcing a second operation. Marco Battistelli and co-authors mine one hospital's cases in a 2025 study to rank what drives that return in the era of artery-blocking treatment.
The series covered 283 treated hematomas in 233 patients, with forty-five clinical, scan, and treatment variables recorded for each. Fifty bleeds needed re-operation, usually within seven weeks. Adding the embolization procedure, which blocks the middle meningeal artery feeding the membrane, was the single strongest protector: most recurrences sat in the non-embolized group. Two machine learning methods, a decision tree and a random forest, sorted the remaining risk factors in order.
