Brief Summary:
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare whether the traditional approach (stent-assisted coiling) is associated with a lower complication rate than flow diverter (Pipelineâ„¢) treatment for unruptured intracranial wide-neck bifurcation aneurysms. It will also evaluate the long-term imaging outcomes and safety of both treatments. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Researchers will compare the traditional approach (stent-assisted coiling) with the flow diverter (Pipelineâ„¢) to determine which treatment has better safety and efficacy outcomes.
Participants will:

| Stent Assisted Coiling Group | Active Comparator | Traditional Group (Stent Assisted Coiling): The patient is placed in a supine position. After satisfactory general anesthesia, the right groin area is routinely disinfected and draped. The right femoral artery sheath is replaced with an 8F sheath. Systemic heparinization is administered, followed by continuous pressurized infusion. A 6F long sheath plus a 5F multifunction catheter are advanced with a Terumo guidewire, and the long sheath is positioned in the left vertebral artery. A micro guidewire is used with a microcatheter to selectively catheterize the left posterior cerebral artery P2 segment, and then the microcatheter is advanced into the aneurysm. Through the microcatheter, one coil is semi deployed to form a framing coil, then one stent is deployed through the stent catheter to cover the aneurysm neck. After the first framing coil is detached, several additional coils are sequentially deployed to embolize the aneurysm. Follow up angiography shows no opacification of the a |

| Flow Diverter Group | Experimental | Flow Diverter Group: The patient is placed in a supine position. The right groin area is routinely disinfected and draped. Local infiltration anesthesia is applied at the puncture site, and the right femoral artery is punctured using the Seldinger technique. An 8F sheath is inserted, systemic heparinization is administered, and continuous pressurized infusion is started. A 6F long sheath is advanced to the origin of the right internal carotid artery with the assistance of a Terumo guidewire and a multifunction catheter. A 5F intermediate catheter is advanced inside the long sheath to the petrous segment of the right internal carotid artery. 3D cerebral angiography is performed, and after a suitable working angle is obtained, a stent catheter is advanced to the right middle cerebral artery M3 segment with micro guidewire assistance. Manual injection shows no hemorrhage, confirming the true lumen. After calibration and measurement, one flow diverter stent is deployed to cover the ane |
