TCT 2021 Announces Late-Breaking Clinical Trials

November 10, 2021 — There were nine late-breaking trials and 13 late-breaking science presentations at the 2021 Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT) meeting, sponsored by the Cardiovascular Research Foundation (CRF).

Due to COVID-19, the meeting will be condensed and only a limited number of attendees were being allowed to attend and they need to meet strict health safety requirements. The meeting will have both an in-person and virtual component. There is no expo floor at this year's meeting.
