CRF announces late-breaking clinical trials for TCT 2024

The Cardiovascular Research Foundation (CRF) has announced the full lineup of late-breaking clinical trials and late-breaking clinical science scheduled for TCT 2024 in Washington, DC.

TCT 2024 takes place Oct. 27-30 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center. This is the 36th annual Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics Conference. What started in 1988 as a gathering of 150 heart specialists is now widely regarded as one of interventional cardiology’s most important, influential conferences.

Topics to be discussed during the four-day event include transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and other structural heart procedures, cerebral protection devices, pharmaceutical treatments and much more.

Eleven medical societies have signed on to a consensus statement aimed at standardizing imaging for suspected cardiovascular infections.

Kate Hanneman, MD, explains why many vendors and hospitals want to lower radiology's impact on the environment. "Taking steps to reduce the carbon footprint in healthcare isn’t just an opportunity," she said. "It’s also a responsibility."

Philips introduced a new CT system at ECR aimed at the rapidly growing cardiac CT market, incorporating numerous AI features to optimize workflow and image quality.
