Annual Scientific Symposium Will Take Place October 27-30 in Washington, D.C.

NEW YORK – August 27, 2024 – The Cardiovascular Research Foundation^® (CRF^®) is pleased to announce the late-breaking clinical trials and science to be featured at TCT^® 2024. As the annual scientific symposium of CRF^® and the world’s premier educational meeting specializing in interventional cardiovascular medicine, TCT^® 2024 will be held October 27-30 in Washington, D.C. at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center.

For over three decades, TCT^® has been at the forefront of innovation, education, and collaboration in interventional cardiology, with a steadfast commitment to improving the survival and quality of life for patients suffering from heart and vascular disease. Every year, TCT^® features groundbreaking research that directly impacts patient care and how physicians treat heart disease.

In the rapidly evolving field of medicine, late-breaking trials are highly anticipated and offer clinicians the opportunity to learn about new interventions, drugs, techniques, and strategies that could potentially improve patient outcomes. The 25 studies selected for presentation at TCT^® examine the safety and effectiveness of minimally invasive techniques, pharmaceuticals, technologies, and devices that demonstrate potential to treat or prevent cardiovascular disease. Late-breaking trials will be presented during the main sessions and highlighted during press conferences scheduled for Monday, October 28, Tuesday, October 29, and Wednesday, October 30.
