Your heart is a complex organ that’s linked to every aspect of your health. That’s why it’s so important to know how well your heart is functioning and if it has any challenges. At Sutter, our interventional cardiologists use advanced techniques, including minimally invasive, catheter-based treatments like tricuspid valve procedures and cardiac catheterization. Our teams can also place stents to prevent heart blockages, provide care for heart attacks, and replace and repair heart valves. These treatments forgo the need for traditional open-heart surgery and help you recover faster. We are one of the first five facilities approved by the FDA to replace a heart valve with the TAVR procedure. We were also the first in the Bay Area to repair a leaking tricuspid valve with the TriClip™ Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair, a low-risk, minimally invasive procedure. Our excellence in accountability and safety consistently receive the Key Quality Measures® recognition from The Joint Commission. ## By the Numbers ### 325+ Heart and Vascular Specialists provide award-winning cardiovascular care to adults and children. ### 5 Cardiac Surgery Centers are the foundation of our cardiovascular program — one of the largest in the country. ### 800+ Heart Transplants provided since being the first hospital in Greater Sacramento to perform one. ### 7 Hospitals Recognized by U.S. News & World Report for heart attack and heart failure care. ## Need a Referral?
