Abstract：Since the introduction of flow-diverter into clinical practice,most medical centers have performed flow-diverter implantation for unruptured intracranial aneurysms under general anesthesia.This paper reports the successful treatment of a 60-year-old female patient with a giant unruptured cavernous segment internal carotid artery aneurysm using pipeline embolization device under local anesthesia.The procedure was completed without complications,with the patient maintaining stable neurological status throughout the surgery.This case demonstrates the clinical feasibility of pipeline device implantation under local anesthesia,offering an alternative anesthetic approach for the endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms.
