This year's meeting will include a comprehensive program to foster engagement and interactive case-based learning with a diverse lineup of faculty.

As a member of the faculty, Rami Tzafriri, CBSET's Director of Research and Innovation, will be a discussant for the following sessions:

Pulmonary Embolism and Pulmonary Hypertension Studies, on Monday, October 28, at 11:00 AM, in the Moderated Abstracts Station 2, Innovation & Exhibit Hall (Halls A-C), Lower Level.

Endovascular Innovation, on Wednesday, October 30, from 9:50 AM — 10:50 AM EDT, in the Endovascular Spotlight Room, Education & Training Hall (Halls D-E), Level 2.

Rami's Profile

Please contact us to schedule a meeting around TCT 2024 with the researchers and authors behind some of the most advanced preclinical models for peripheral artery disease (PAD) and thrombolysis/thrombectomy in the field.
