Innovate. Educate. Collaborate.

Thank you for completing your registration for TCT 2016.

TCT 2016 is sponsored by the Cardiovascular Research Foundation and supported through educational grants from multiple commercial supporters. The Cardiovascular Research Foundation strives to ensure that its programs are as educational as possible and free from bias. To support this endeavor, TCT directors and co-directors create organizational and scientific committees to assist in educational content development and oversight for live cases, concurrent sessions, case reviews, practical workshops, and scientific symposia. These sessions are developed without influence from commercial supporters.

Educational grant support from our industry colleagues, who, like the Cardiovascular Research Foundation, are dedicated to educating medical professionals and the public to enhance patient outcomes, helps to make each TCT possible.

The Cardiovascular Research Foundation gratefully acknowledges the TCT 2016

Faculty participating in continuing medical education activities sponsored by the Cardiovascular Research Foundation are required to disclose to the program audience any real or apparent conflict of interest related to the content of their presentation(s).
