The Cardiovascular Research Foundation (CRF) has announced the late-breaking clinical trials being presented at the Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT) 2023 annual meeting Oct. 23-26, 2023, in San Francisco. TCT features cutting-edge research in interventional cardiovascular medicine that directly impacts patient care and how physicians treat heart disease.
The sessions below include three late-breaking trials sessions that highlight the studies that are expected to have the most impact on interventional cardiology and structural heart interventions.
