Overview

First launched as the Angioplasty Summit by Dr. Seung-Jung Park in 1995, TCTAP has evolved into the premier international conference in interventional cardiovascular medicine in the Asia-Pacific region. With dynamic academic exchanges and collaborations across cardiology, thoracic surgery, radiology, vascular surgery, pediatric cardiology, and cardiac rehabilitation, TCTAP continues to play a pivotal role in advancing cardiovascular care worldwide.

Bringing together the latest knowledge and innovations from East and West, TCTAP serves as a global platform for sharing expertise, fostering collaboration, and driving continuous improvement in the treatment of cardiovascular disease.

Held annually in late April in Korea, TCTAP offers a comprehensive program encompassing the latest basic and clinical research, state-of-the-art interventional techniques, and emerging device technologies. The conference also features expert-led debates on evolving strategies, as well as discussions on pharmacologic therapies and multidisciplinary approaches, providing invaluable insights for the optimal management of coronary and structural heart disease.
