TREATT will convene faculty experts from academia, industry and government to discuss the role of device technique (radial approach) to inform the safety labeling of antithrombotic medications used for percutaneous coronary intervention. The purpose of this meeting is to serve as an incubator to move a portfolio of projects designed to inform drug labeling, educate the interventional community in transradial catheterization, and develop an infrastructure to explore new drugs and devices in the context of ongoing data collections. As a “thinktank” forum of experts there will be no didactic lectures, but rather a roundtable of brief presentations giving perspectives from all stakeholders. More than 50% of the meeting time will be open discussion amongst faculty.
