Key Points Stroke occurs infrequently following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with 30‐day and 1‐year cumulative incidence of 0.4 and 1.5%, respectively. Patient comorbidities, acute presentations, and complex coronary lesions are more prevalent among patients who sustain a stroke. The occurrence of stroke is associated with higher short‐term and overall mortality compared with bleeding or myocardial infarction.
