A virtual event dedicated to transcatheter treatment strategies for coronary and structural heart disease

​​​​​​​

Overview

Radcliffe Cardiology is delighted to announce that Transcatheter Interventions Online (TIO) returns on 21–22 April 2026 for two dynamic days of world-class education in interventional cardiology.

Now in its seventh year, TIO has established itself as the world's leading exclusively-virtual interventional and structural heart congress, bringing together global experts for education, collaboration and innovation.

Led by Course Director Prof Nicolas Van Mieghem, the programme has one clear mission: to advance clinical practice and drive breakthroughs through knowledge sharing, that will ultimately shape the future of the field.

Over two days, participants will join a curated mix of live cases, expert discussions, practical demonstrations and debates. Each session will comprise insights and showcase evolving techniques and innovations transforming current practice.

For the second year, we are also delighted to announce TIO USA on 12–13 June 2026, exclusively dedicated to highlighting perspectives, cases and challenges most affecting USA practice.

TIO 2025 welcomed more than 2,500 healthcare professionals from 155 countries for best-in-class education. TIO 2026 promises to reach even further. 

Wherever you are, TIO 2026 supports your commitment to delivering the best outcomes in patient care.

Be part of the conversation #TIOCongress  Register today and join the global interventional cardiology community! 

*Transcatheter Interventions Online (TIO) Global 2026's programme has been submitted to the European Board for Accreditation of Continuing Education for Health Professionals (EBAC) seeking 14 CME credits, equating to 14 hours of effective education time. Physicians may convert EBAC External CME credits to AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™.
