Objectives To evaluate the effect of prior stroke on long‐term outcomes in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). Background Patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) and prior stroke history have more serious clinical and angiographic conditions, which make the choice of treatment strategy complex. Methods A total of 10,724 consecutive patients who underwent PCI from January 2013 to December 2013 were enrolled. 2‐Year clinical outcomes between patients with prior stroke ( n = 1150) and those with no prior stroke ( n =9574) were compared. Results The proportion of patients with prior stroke was 10.72%. These patients had higher clinical risks (age, sex, and cardiovascular risk factors) and more extensive coronary disease (higher pre‐PCI and residual SYNTAX scores). During the 2‐year follow‐up, patients with prior stroke had a higher incidence of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE), all‐cause death, stent thrombosis and stroke than those without prior stroke (14.3% vs. 11.8%, p = 0.02; 2.3% vs. 1.1%, p < 0.01; 1.6% vs. 0.8%, p < 0.01; 3.3% vs. 1.1%, p < 0.01, respectively). Multivariable regression analyses identified a positive association between prior stroke and risk of stroke (HR = 2.07, 95%CI: 1.35–3.19, p < 0.01). Propensity score matched analyses (962 pairs) indicated that the only primary end point that differed in incidence between the groups was stroke and prior stroke was the only independent predictor of stroke (HR = 2.31, 95%CI: 1.20–4.45, p = 0.01). Conclusions Prior stroke history was the only predictor of risk of post‐PCI stroke. The noncerebrovascular adverse events were not increased after adjusted analyses of baseline characteristics and propensity analyses.
