Organization of transfers between remote hospitals and the PCI centre. ED: emergency department; ICU: intensive care unit; MICU: mobile intensive care unit; NSTEMI: non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction; PCI: percutaneous coronary intervention; STEMI: ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. *Only NSTEMI patients who had been stable for ≥24 h in the remote centre were eligible for SCA-Alp transfer to the PCI centre; only NSTEMI patients with optimal PCI results were eligible for SCA-Alp transfer back to the remote hospital (within 12 h of PCI). †Only STEMI patients with an optimal revascularization procedure and no recurrence of angina, acute cardiac failure, or significant ventricular arrhythmias in the 24 h following admission were eligible for SCA-Alp transfer back to the remote hospital (24–48 h after PCI)
