Join CBSET at CRT21 Virtual. Cardiovascular Research Technologies (CRT) has made the difficult decision to convert CRT 2021 into a live virtual experience. This virtual conference will take place over 10 Saturdays, starting February 13 and ending April 24, from 8:00 AM – 1:15 PM Eastern Time.
CRT, one of the world’s leading interventional cardiology conferences, is attended by more than 3,000 interventional and endovascular specialists.The meeting is actually several conferences at once, with tracks including CRT Valve & Structural, CRT Endovascular, Technology & Innovation, Atherosclerosis & Research, and Nurses & Technologists.
CBSET's Director of Research and Innovation, Dr. Rami Tzafriri, will be participating in this event, discussing the topic of: "Atraumatic Endoluminal Microincisions Enhance Balloon-based Drug Delivery In Complex Porcine Restenotic Lesions" in a pre-recorded presentation and will be included in Cardiovascular Revascularization Medicine.
