The CRF® Centers of Excellence:
Focal Points for Cutting-Edge Advancements and Collaborative Discovery
Spearheading Global Innovation
At the forefront of CRF® initiatives is the renowned Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics® conference, founded by Dr. Martin B. Leon. TCT® is the premier global symposium for interventional cardiovascular medicine, attracting luminaries, researchers, and health care leaders from across the globe. From its modest beginnings in 1988, TCT® has evolved into a preeminent event, showcasing major medical research breakthroughs, and gathering leading researchers and clinicians to present and discuss the latest evidence-based research.
Advancing Cardiovascular Care
The impact of CRF® extends far beyond TCT®, with groundbreaking conferences like New York Valves and specialized summits such as CTO Plus addressing the complexities of chronic total occlusions. These initiatives collectively empower the next generation of cardiovascular specialists and drive progress in the field.
Through educational programs like the Fellows Course, THT (Technology and Heart Failure Therapeutics), and the Complications Course, CRF® equips health care professionals with the skills, insights, and expertise needed to navigate modern cardiovascular care and improve patient outcomes worldwide.
With each conference and initiative, CRF® demonstrates its dedication to excellence, progress, and collaboration in advancing cardiovascular medicine, leading to improved patient care and enhanced quality of life for millions around the world.
