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.

- Electronic versions of the abstracts are viewable throughout the convention center for the duration of TCT
