Call for Abstracts

Submission Process Begins: March 22, 2010

Submission Deadline: May 14, 2010

Abstracts are an essential format for sharing new information on topics in interventional vascular medicine. Abstracts should address an area of interventional cardiology, endovascular medicine, or structural heart disease (clinical studies, basic science investigation, and preclinical studies are equally encouraged) and should constitute original research, but the content may include portions of prior abstracts and/or manuscripts presented elsewhere. The abstract selection process for TCT is organized under the auspices of the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI). Submitted abstracts are peer-reviewed by multiple graders selected by SCAI and TCT faculty. Those abstracts receiving the highest grades are selected for presentation during the main TCT scientific sessions.

Abstract Selection and Presentation

  • Abstracts are presented at dedicated times (with no competing educational activities) on Wednesday, September 22, 2010, either as poster presentation from 3:00 p.m.-5:00 p.m. or as 10-minute oral presentations from 1:00 p.m.-3:00 p.m.
  • Electronic versions of the abstracts are viewable throughout the convention center for the duration of TCT
  • Registration fees for abstract presenters are discounted
  • Registration fees for fellows presenting abstracts are waived (verification of active fellowship status from the program director is required)
  • Abstracts accepted for presentation are published and distributed at TCT in print (published in the American Journal of Cardiology)

Abstract Submission Criteria

  • The abstract submission process begins on March 22, 2010, at 9:00 a.m. (CDT)
  • All abstracts must be submitted online.
  • Abstracts must be received electronically by May 14, 2010, before 5:00 p.m. (CDT)

Call for Invention and Innovation

Submission Deadline: July 23, 2010

TCT is the preeminent platform for the initial presentation of novel devices and concepts for the field of interventional vascular therapy. We are actively soliciting new innovative diagnostic and therapeutic modalities for TCT 2010. This is a call for physicians and industry leaders developing or investigating novel technologies or pharmaceutical agents relevant to the treatment of cardiac or endovascular disorders and novel approaches to treat structural heart disease.

Call for Challenging Cases and Complications

Submission Process Begins: March 22, 2010

Submission Deadline: June 25, 2010

Physicians from the United States and around the world are invited to submit their most challenging coronary intervention, endovascular intervention, and structural heart disease cases. We are looking for interesting clinical situations, unique anatomical obstacles, device-specific challenges, management of complications, etc. The TCT directors review each submitted case.

All cases selected as winners of the Challenging Case competition will be presented at TCT. For those winning cases there will be an additional review and selection for the award of Cases of Extraordinary Teaching Value. These cases will be considered provisionally accepted to CCI for online publication.
