Abstract：With the accumulation of experience among neurosurgeons and their teams,the use of Pipeline embolization devices(PEDs)under local anesthesia has been increasingly explored.The primary advantage of local anesthesia lies in the ability to perform real-time neurological assessments during the procedure,facilitating the early detection and management of surgery-related complications.Additionally,it avoids the need for endotracheal intubation,thereby reducing the risk of cardiac and pulmonary complications,which is particularly beneficial for high-risk patients with medical comorbidities.Here,we report a case of an unruptured ophthalmic segment internal carotid artery aneurysm treated with a PED under local anesthesia,aiming to provide a new perspective for neurointerventional practice.
