Announcing the TCT 2019 Late-Breaking Trials and Science

NEW YORK – August 8, 2019 – The Cardiovascular Research Foundation (CRF) has announced the 12 late-breaking trials and 16 late-breaking science presentations that will be reported at the Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT) 2019 scientific symposium. TCT, the world’s premier educational meeting specializing in interventional cardiovascular medicine, will take place September 25 – 29, 2019 at The Moscone Center in San Francisco, California.

Every year, TCT features major medical research breakthroughs and highlights the latest data on the most innovative treatments that will impact patient care and how physicians treat heart disease, the leading cause of death in the world. The studies selected 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 and science will be presented in the Main Arena and highlighted during press conferences scheduled for Thursday, September 26; Friday, September 27; Saturday, September 28; and Sunday, September 29.

The complete agenda for TCT 2019 is available online. Browse through a wide array of topics and learn more about individual sessions, presentations, and faculty. Media are invited to attend TCT and can apply for media credentials online at: https://www.crf.org/tct/press/for-the-media/press-resources.
