Interventional cardiovascular medicine is one of the most rapidly evolving fields of medicine.
It started with balloon angioplasty for coronary artery disease. Now, it has expanded into a multidisciplinary subspecialty to include coronary intervention (now including complex PCI — percutaneous coronary intervention — and primary PCI of patients presenting with myocardial infarction), endovascular intervention (now including renal denervation and treatment of patients with pulmonary embolism), and structural heart disease intervention (now including treatment of valvular diseases, congenital heart disease, and heart failure), as well as the supporting disciplines of invasive and noninvasive imaging and physiology.
New techniques and devices for each of these disciplines are developed annually along with evidence supporting their use. To remain current, practitioners of one or more of these disciplines must update both their technical skills as well as the latest scientific evidence regarding when and how to use these devices to treat their patients.
In addition, practitioners may choose to learn a new discipline. TCT® is designed to be an encyclopedic conference, covering everything that falls within the purview of interventional cardiovascular medicine, focusing on state-of-the art therapies and especially the most recently developed devices, techniques, and procedures. To do this, TCT® incorporates the latest science (late-breaking science and trials, plenary lectures, and abstracts), live and taped case demonstrations, presentation and discussion of unusual and complex cases, hands-on workshops, and limitless opportunities for learning and networking with peers and key opinion leaders from around the globe.
By the end of the symposium, participants should be able to:
Incorporate new interventional technologies and procedures into the care of patients with complex coronary, structural heart, and endovascular disease.
Apply the results from important clinical trials and evidence-based medicine to guide best practices in the management of patients with coronary artery disease, structural heart disease, and peripheral vascular disease.
Integrate advances in non-invasive diagnostic evaluation and therapeutics in the upstream care of patients being considered for interventional procedures.
Integrate advances in invasive diagnostic evaluation during interventional procedures.
Identify new and innovative interventional technologies and propose appropriate applications for emerging treatments of patients with cardiovascular disease.
TCT® 2024 is designed for a multidisciplinary audience that includes anyone interested in interventional cardiovascular medicine. This includes:
Interventional cardiologists.
Clinical cardiologists.
Cardiac imaging specialists.
Cardiac and vascular surgeons.
Cath lab technicians and technologists.
Fellows in interventional cardiovascular medicine and related fields.
Heart failure specialists.
Medical device experts.
Nurse practitioners.
Other physicians involved with cardiovascular care.
Physician assistants.
Research scientists.
Vascular medicine specialists.
In accordance with accredited continuing education directly provided by CRF®, all planners, faculty, authors, moderators, and facilitators with control over activity content are required to disclose all financial relationships with ineligible companies within the prior 24 months. CRF® is required to provide this information to learners before the start of an activity.
Discussion of off-label product usage during live cases is made at the sole discretion of the faculty. Off-label product discussion and usage are not endorsed by the Cardiovascular Research Foundation® or the conference directors of this activity.
All of the relevant financial relationships listed have been mitigated.
The Cardiovascular Research Foundation® is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
The Cardiovascular Research Foundation® designates this live activity for a maximum of 23.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians should only claim credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
Documentation of awarded credit is provided for registered attendees in exchange for completed activity evaluations. CME, MOC, and Certificate of Attendance can be claimed through the CRF® Events App or the CRF® CME Portal.
Participants will earn MOC points equivalent to the number of CME credits claimed for the activity. Successful completion of this CME activity enables the participant to earn up to 23.5 MOC points in the American Board of Internal Medicine's (ABIM) Maintenance of Certification (MOC) program. It is the CME activity provider’s responsibility to submit participant completion information to ACCME for the purpose of granting American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) MOC points.
Successful completion of this CME activity, which includes participation in the evaluation component, enables the learner to earn credit toward the CME requirements of the American Board of Thoracic Surgery’s Maintenance of Certification program. It is the CME activity provider's responsibility to submit learner completion information to ACCME for the purpose of granting ABTS credit.
Successful completion of this CME activity, which includes participation in the evaluation component, enables the learner to earn credit toward the CME requirement(s) of the American Board of Surgery’s Continuous Certification program. It is the CME activity provider's responsibility to submit learner completion information to ACCME for the purpose of granting ABS credit.
Continuing Medical Education credits for the CRF CME Lunch and Evening Programs supported by Edwards: The Cardiovascular Research Foundation® designates these live activities for a maximum of 1.0 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ each program.
As a CME provider accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), CRF is committed to ensuring balance, independence, objectivity, and scientific rigor in all its sponsored programs. Commercial support from industry does not influence educational content, faculty selection, and/or faculty presentations, and therefore, does not compromise the scientific integrity of the educational activity.

CLAIM CME CREDIT OR CERTIFICATE OF ATTENDANCE
TCT® 2024 is CME-accredited only for participants who attend in person.
How do I earn ABIM MOC points?
CRF® offers American Board of Internal Medicine Maintenance of Certification for select sessions, designed within the ABIM framework. During sessions offering MOC points, you must actively participate and complete the short session evaluation.
Who can claim ABIM MOC points?
Any appropriately badged meeting registrant can attend MOC-accredited sessions, but only ABIM diplomates are eligible to claim MOC points.
How do I claim ABIM MOC points?
Claim your points in the CRF® CME portal. First, complete the online evaluation form for each session. Then you will need to enter your ABIM diplomate number, birth date, and state license number. Your MOC points will be registered and transferred to ABIM. You can claim your ABIM MOC points only once for each eligible session.
After submission, when will I see my MOC points in my ABIM physician portal?
It may take up to 72 hours for your MOC points to be posted. Also check to be sure that you entered your correct diplomate number, birthdate, and state license number. Incorrect entries will create a significant delay in processing your points.
For inquiries about CME, MOC, or Certificate of Attendance, or to claim credits for a previous conference, please contact us at [email protected].
