We’re excited to announce a major milestone for Sutter’s Alta Bates Summit Medical Center – the successful completion of the Bay Area’s first T-TEER procedure outside of clinical trials! This groundbreaking procedure was made possible by the incredible efforts of our talented surgery team. Patient Alylean Smith’s words say it all: “Everyone was just amazed how well it went, due to my age. I was blessed. And there was no pain — wow. That is really something to think about.” Read the full story: https://bit.ly/4dQmxbS.

Wow, what an incredibly heartwarming story. I was touched by the certified nursing assistant, Chadd Cline, taking care of the patient as she says like she was his grandmother to Dr. Michael Tsang telling her, “I’m here to save your life.” I believe words and how patients are treated matters in achieving the best outcomes. I still remember to this day how my dad's heart transplant team at CPMC cared for my dad over the course of 15 years. I am also thoroughly impressed how the procedure was done in under an hour and the patient experienced no pain!
