This study used pooled data from published genome-wide association studies (GWAS). GWAS statisics of IS (from EBI database, n = 484 121), VTE (from Finngen database, n = 218 792), PE (from Finngen database, n = 218 413), and DVT (from UK biobank database, n = 337 159) were assessed. Forward and reverse MR analysis were conducted to explore the causal relationship between three type of the exposure (VTE, PE, and DVT) and the outcome (IS). Our primary causal inference method was Inverse Variance Weighted (IVW). Secondary inference methods were Weighted Median and MR-Egger. For the sensitive analysis, MR-PRESSO, MR-Egger intercept, Cochran's Q, leave-one method were used to consolidate our findings. In the foward MR analysis, VTE increased the risk of IS (OR<sub>IVW </sub>= 1.034, <i>P</i><sub>IVW </sub>= 0.021) and PE was also a risk factor for IS (OR = 1.055, <i>P</i><sub>IVW </sub>= 0.009).

Meanwhile, IS took not any causal effect on VTE and PE. All the results passed the reasonable sensitive analysis.
