Editor's Corner: What to Expect at TCT 2015

Now, after many months of preparation, TCT 2015 is only days away. In addition to providing year-round coverage of clinically relevant research on TCTMD, our editorial team has another key job—creating TCT Daily.

Together with the publishing company SLACK Incorporated, we have already worked hard on this year’s TCT Daily, and in San Francisco we will work even harder. Each day during the meeting, TCTMD will feature stories about all of the Late-Breaking Clinical Trials, First Report Investigations, Featured Clinical Research, and top abstracts. TCT attendees can read the print edition of TCT Daily, where they will find not only data-driven articles but also additional content related to the meeting’s debates, interactions, and special events.

TCT 2015 promises to provide newsworthy findings on novel techniques and devices as well as tools ready for use in daily practice. Among the most anticipated are results on bioresorbable scaffolds from a slate of trials including ABSORB III, ABSORB II, BIOSOLVE II, and ABSORB China. Others will reflect the field’s growing interest in structural interventions.

Beyond the numbers, however, there are people. TCT provides a chance to engage with your colleagues in interventional cardiology.

For the most part, I will be sequestered with L.A. McKeown in the TCT Daily newsroom, editing dozens of stories each day, but I hope to meet many of you in person at the Moscone Center. You may also run into one of our reporters—Nicole Lou, Yael L. Maxwell, and Todd Neale—who will be spending their time attending sessions and press conferences, writing TCT Daily stories, and filming multimedia content for TCTMD. We look forward to hearing your thoughts about what we are doing well and what we can do better.

See you in San Francisco!
