Disclosure Statement
It is the policy of the Cardiovascular
Research Foundation to ensure balance,
independence, objectivity, and scientific
rigor in all of its sponsored educational
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.
Discussion of off-label product
usage, and/or off-label product
use during live cases, is made at
the sole discretion of the faculty.
Off-label product discussion and/or
off-label product use is not endorsed
by the Cardiovascular Research Foundation
or the course directors for this
activity. Faculty participating
in continuing medical education
activities sponsored by the Cardiovascular
Research Foundation are required
to disclose to the program audience
any real or apparent conflict of
interest related to the content
of their presentation(s). Faculty
not complying with this policy are
not permitted to participate in
this activity.
Program Sponsorship and Support
This symposium is sponsored by the
Cardiovascular Research Foundation
and partially funded through educational
grants from commercial supporters.
The Cardiovascular Research Foundation
strives to ensure that its programs
are as educational as possible and
free from bias. To support this
endeavor, TCT directors and co-directors
create organizational and scientific
committees to assist in educational
content development and content
oversight for live cases, concurrent
sessions, case reviews, practical
workshops, and scientific symposia.
These sessions are developed without
influence from commercial supporters.
