Abstract

We describe the use of direct superficial temporal artery puncture to access the left middle meningeal artery for embolization of a recurrent chronic subdural hematoma in a patient with a type A aortic dissection, involving the origin of the left common carotid artery which precluded conventional access from a radial or femoral approach.
