This channel contains news about the annual Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT) conference presented by the Cardiovascular Research Foundation (CRF). It includes coverage from the annual meeting and links CRF news. TCT is the premier conference for the subspecialty of interventional cardiology, including the new subspecialty areas of transcatheter structural heart procedures.
My observation over the 13 years covering cardiology is that it is a heavily male-dominated field. This is more...

EchoPixel showed technology at TCT 2019 that creates live holograms in the cath lab from 3-D TEE imaging. It projects the holograms on a special display screen that does not require the user to wear 3-D glasses. The interventional cardiologist can use hand movements and a foot switch to move the image around without breaking the sterile field. It offers a new way to visualize catheters, device positioning and deployment in structural heart procedures. (Photos by Dave Fornell)
The latest in interventional cardiology clinical data and new device technologies were highlighted at the annual...

This is a realistic cath lab simulator training set up shown by Mentice. The patient has respiratory chest motion, eyes blink and it allows for radial or femoral catheterization. The simulator allows for PCI training. When not used for cath training, the patient simulator can be used by other hospital staff training or EMS training.
This is a photo essay of the interventional cardiology and structural heart technologies on the expo floor and...
