  16. Embargoed content: All authors, presenters, company sponsors, attendees, journalists, and/or anyone with knowledge of embargoed content must comply with SCAI embargo policies, which state that scientific study results presented during Scientific Sessions must not be released publicly prior to the embargo date and time. If the media contacts authors directly, authors, presenters, and/or company sponsors must first seek SCAI approval for information to be shared with the understanding that it is under embargo. Responsibility for information shared in this manner rests solely with the disclosing authors, presenters, and/or company sponsors. SCAI leadership, press staff, and meeting co-chairs will be available to work with the disclosing party to develop an acceptable release of the required information if specific disclosures (e.g., Securities and Exchange Commission requirements) must be met or in the case of a public health concern. The only exception to the above-mentioned embargo rules are closed investigatomeetings for participants in the trial. The SCAI Program Committee may ask you to supply investigator meeting date/time/location information if your submission is accepted. 

Specific Embargo Dates and Times: 

*Oral Presentations: Abstracts selected for oral presentation are embargoed from the time of submission until conclusion of their presentations at Scientific Sessions. 

*Poster Presentations: Abstracts selected for poster presentation are embargoed from the time of submission until the start of Scientific Sessions. 

*Abstracts included in SCAI’s official Press Program are embargoed from the time of submission until conclusion of the press conference in which the research is presented or until conclusion of the presentation at the Scientific Sessions, whichever is first. Authors will be notified directly if their study has been selected for the Press Program, and the specific embargo details for their study will be provided.

Abstract Availability: Embargoed text of abstracts, not in the Press Program, will be made available online two weeks prior to the start of Scientific Sessions. Note: The abstract embargo still applies; however, abstracts are made available to attendees to assist in creating their itineraries for the meeting.
