Abstract

A giant intracranial aneurysm is known to have a natural history of high rupture rate which leads to significant morbidity, mortality, and health care costs [1,2]. High complication rate has been reported with both surgical and endovascular treatment [3-5]. Pipeline embolization device (PED) use in giant intracranial aneurysms has become increasingly established for treatment in many of these cases as retrospective and prospective studies demonstrates lower overall procedural cost and higher efficacy and safety protecting the parent artery [6,7]. However, the treatment of giant aneurysms remains a formidable challenge due to technical aspect of PED placement.
