Treatments tested in this trial
MMA embolization plus medical therapy
Procedure/SurgeryPatients assigned to the intervention group will receive endovascular embolization treatment within 2 hours after enrollment. Patients will receive the best conservative treatment recommended by the guidelines after MMA, and conservative treatment will be the same in both groups

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
The proportion of patients who require craniotomy due to the progression of epidural hematoma 7 days after injury*, and neurogenic death 28 days after injury
\*This includes patients who have actually undergone surgery and those who were deemed necessary by the committee but did not undergo surgery for various reasons.
Secondary outcomes
Changes in hematoma volume 7±2 days after injury (or at discharge)
GCS score at 7±2 days after injury (or at discharge)
Hematoma volume 28±7 days after injury
GCS score at 28±2 days after injury
Other outcomes
Perioperative surgical complications (including craniotomy and neurovascular)
All-cause mortality rate at 28 ± 7 days after injury
