In many cases, cardiovascular surgery is the most effective treatment option. Sutter Heart & Vascular Institute delivers the full spectrum of surgical treatment options and has an excellent record of successful outcomes.  Being on the forefront of new technologies and procedures we have been deemed a Center of Excellence for both the Abiomed Ventricular Assist Device procedure (VAD) and Endoscopic Vein Harvesting (EVH).  We are the only VAD program in Northern California and the largest EVH center in the Western United States.

Sutter Heart and Vascular Institute works in conjunction with the Sacramento Cardiovascular Surgeons to provide EVH, VAD, and other advanced surgical procedures to the Sacramento Region such as:  the Diamondback 360°, the Impella Procedure, and the Totally Thorocscopic Maze Procedure (TT Maze).  For more information on procedures preformed at the Sutter Health, check the Sutter Health Heart and Vascular Institute.
