ANGIOPLASTY SUMMIT-TCTAP
is an annual and international conference focusing on interventional vascular therapy to be held in the end of April in Seoul, Korea. Over the past two decades, this meeting has played an integral part in the Asia Pacific region by educating physicians and other health care professionals who specialize or are interested in this field, and has become an immense platform for them to catch up with cutting- edge techniques, overviews and clinical investigations from all over the world. In close collaboration with global working groups, this meeting delivers an unparalleled program that appeals to over 3,000 attendees around the world with unsurpassed evidence-based contents. Since its commencement various changes and challenges have been attempted each year and this tradition will be continued.
Featured Tracks
The 1st Angioplasty Summit was held in 1995 in Asan Medical Center, Seoul with 400 attendees.
Dr. Gary S. Mintz at the Cardiovascular Research Foundation (CRF) in New York joined the meeting as a course director in 1997.
For the first time in Korea, Angioplasty Summit broadcasted percutaneous intervention procedures to TCT (Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics) in Washington DC via satellite in 2000.
In 2001, Peripheral Intervention Session opened.
With the foundation of the CardioVascular Research Foundation (CVRF) officially approved by the Ministry of Health and Welfare in Korea in 2002, this meeting jumpstarted to systematically run by the support of CVRF.
The 9th annual event opened with over 2000 attendees and 200 international faculty members in 2004.

In the same year, the first call for abstract submission was also published in a special supplement of the International Journal of Cardiovascular Intervention (IJCI) this year.
In 2005, the great changes were made. The 10th Angioplasty Summit was unfolded under the name of the Angioplasty Summit-TCT Asia Pacific co-sponsored by CRF in New York. EuroPCR, the biggest working group in Europe was invited as one of the associations to contribute into the scientific program and live cases were demonstrated from world-leading institutions, the Columbia University (USA), Columbus Hospital (Italy), Toyohashi Heart Center (Japan), Fu Wai Hospital (China) and Asan Medical Center as well as several domestic sites to celebrate this inaugural meeting. Moderated Abstract Presentations and Outstanding Research Awards were highlighted and especially the accepted abstracts were published in the American Journal of Cardiology (AJC) from this year.
