Academic Satellite Programs at CTO Plus: Complex CTO & Higher Risk PCI™ give companies the opportunity to enrich the educational experience of CTO Plus attendees. These one-hour programs will take place Friday, February 13 and Saturday, February 14. Academic Satellite Programs are held in conjunction with the CTO Plus conference and are solely planned by the sponsoring company. These programs are not part of the scientific program, but they are designed to fulfill the same standards of evidence, scientific rigor, and fair balance criteria as the scientific program. Academic Satellite Programs may be accredited for Continuing Medical Education (CME) or content may be industry driven, although it must be educational in nature.
