Commercial Support
Acknowledgments
TCT 2006 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.

of the Cardiovascular Research Foundation
to ensure balance, independence,
objectivity, and scientific rigor
in all of its sponsored educational

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

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
