Abstract
Current European, American and Australasian guidelines recommend revascularisation for acute ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) by immediate or "primary" percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI), or if pPCI cannot be performed within 120 minutes, by thrombolysis followed by rescue PCI. This latter approach, despite its limitations, remains a cornerstone of STEMI care in rural and remote settings, where pPCI is not immediately available, and where one-third of the Australian population live. This review evaluates the current status of thrombolysis and rescue PCI in rural and remote settings, examines the multiple changes that have occurred since its inception, and highlights persisting gaps in knowledge, to provide an up-to-date evaluation of this field, and an outlook for future directions, in this area of ongoing change.
