This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing endovascular embolization, a minimally invasive procedure that blocks the blood vessels supplying a brain tumor called meningioma. Instead of surgery alone, doctors use a thin tube threaded through your blood vessels to cut off the tumor's blood supply before or instead of surgery. The goal is to see if this treatment reduces bleeding, complications, and helps patients recover better.
Most meningiomas grow over time and need treatment, but surgery carries real risks of serious side effects. Doctors need more treatment options beyond surgery and radiation therapy, especially for patients who are good candidates for this less invasive approach.

You likely don't qualify if…
You would receive endovascular embolization, a procedure where doctors guide a thin catheter through your blood vessels to block the tumor's blood supply. This is typically done before surgery to reduce bleeding during the operation. The study will track your recovery and compare imaging and clinical outcomes to assess how well the treatment works. You would need follow-up appointments and imaging scans to monitor your progress.
