We report a case of recurrent chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) treated using the trans-cell approach through a closed-cell stent for middle meningeal artery embolization (MMAE). A 77-year-old man with acute ischemic stroke due to anterior circulation tandem occlusion was treated with intracranial thrombectomy and carotid artery stenting using a closed-cell stent 5 years ago. He experienced head trauma after a fall, which then developed into a CSDH. Burr hole surgery was performed twice, followed by MMAE considering the high possibility of recurrence due to antiplatelet therapy and brain atrophy after ischemic stroke. A distal access catheter was inserted into the external carotid artery through the closed-cell stent, and a microcatheter was navigated in the middle meningeal artery. The anterior and posterior convexity branches were embolized with 16.7% N-butyl cyanoacrylate. The postoperative course was favorable, and CT at 3-month follow-up showed a decrease in the hematoma. Even after the placement of the closed-cell stent, endovascular treatment of the external carotid artery is possible and can be a therapeutic option using the trans-cell approach.
