Brief description of study.

The purpose of this study is to describe a novel approach to retained cranial arrow removal in a radiologic, rather than operative setting, and describe its relative benefits over traditional removal in the operating room.

Eligibility of study

You may be eligible for this study if you meet the following criteria:

  • Conditions: traumatic brain injury
  • Age: 100 years or below
  • Gender: All

This study investigates a radiologic method for removing arrows that are stuck in the skull. Usually, such procedures are done in an operating room, but this study looks at doing it with imaging technology instead. This could have different advantages compared to the traditional surgical method.

Participants in this study will undergo the procedure in a radiology setting. This involves using imaging equipment to guide the removal of the arrow without needing an operation. This method may offer benefits such as less recovery time and reduced risk of complications associated with surgery.

  • Who can participate: Participants aged 18 and over with cranial arrow injuries are eligible. Key eligibility factors include the absence of certain medical conditions that could interfere with the procedure.
  • Study details: Participants will have the arrow removed using imaging technology, which helps guide the procedure without surgery. If applicable, a placebo will not be used in this study.
