About this trial
This is a prospective, multi-center, post market registry study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of treatment with Balt coils in patients with chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH).
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Age ≥ 18
Patients experiencing unilateral or bilateral non-acute subdural hematoma confirmed by CT imaging. Acute on Chronic or mixed density hematoma allowed.
A clinical decision has been made to use coiling and/or embolics as treatment, with or without surgical debridement, independently as per standard of care and prior to enrollment in the study.
Signed informed consent obtained by patient or Legal Authorized Representative (LAR)

Change in EuroQoL 5 dimensions 5 levels (EQ-5D-5L)
The EQ-5D is a generic instrument for describing and valuing health. The new version includes the 5 levels of severity in each of the existing five EQ-5D dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression, and now called the EQ-5D-5L, each assessed on a 5-point scale (1=no problem, 2=slight problems, 3=moderate problems, 4=severe problems, 5=extreme problems). Participants score each dimension based on their health that day and their responses are used to generate a health index score. Index scores could range from \<0 (a health state equivalent to dead with negative values representing a state worse than dead) to 1 (full health). Lower scores indicate a higher QoL.
