Biography
Timothy A. M. Chuter, M.D. studied medicine at the University of Nottingham, England. He then moved to New York and worked as an assistant professor of anatomy at Columbia University. His first-ever publication was the head, neck, and upper extremity chapters of an anatomy textbook. He was lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time when a computer glitch left the Columbia-Presbyterian general surgery program one intern short, thus starting his journey.
In 1990, upon completing general surgery residency, Dr. Chuter moved to Rochester, New York for fellowship training in critical care and vascular surgery. His planned career as a general/vascular surgeon in a rural New England town took a different direction when he started to explore a few original ideas concerning the potential role of endovascular intervention as an alternative to maximally invasive surgery. These experiments were initially funded by Dr. Chuter's nighttime employment in local emergency rooms. Promising results attracted financial support and engineering help from Cook, Inc., a manufacturer of catheters, wires, and stents. The excitement generated by these early successes was enough to precipitate Dr. Chuter into a career focused on innovation, clinical application of new techniques, publication, and further innovation, all at a frenetic pace.
Dr. Chuter completed his vascular fellowship and went back to Columbia-Presbyterian as an assistant professor of surgery in 1993. The first clinical implantations of a bifurcated stent graft took place in late 1993 at selected centers in Australia and Europe. In 1995, Dr. Chuter left New York to work in Sweden as an associate professor of interventional radiology at Lund University. In 1996, Dr. Chuter was recruited to UCSF as the director of the newly formed endovascular program. The other founding faculty member was Linda M. Reilly, MD, FACS, renown for her numerous contributions in the field.

- UCSF Vascular & Endovascular Surgery - - June 15, 2017Timothy A.M. Chuter, BM BS, DM, FACS, Professor of Surgery in the Division of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, has been honored with the 2017 Jacobson Innovation Award by the American College of Surgeons (ACS) for his pioneering work, spanning many decades, in the field of endovascular aneurysm repair. Dr. Chuter received the award, which honors living surgeons who have been innovators of a new development or technique in any field of surgery, at a dinner held in his honor by the ACS on June [...]
- UCSF Vascular & Endovascular Surgery - December 03, 2014The pioneering work of Timothy Chuter, M.D., a Professor of Vascular Surgery at UCSF, was recently profiled in the San Francisco Chronicle. The story cited his major accomplishments and important discoveries in the field: The aortic aneurysms and areas he's worked on are preventing people from dying from ruptured aneurysms," said Dr. Peter Lawrence, president of the Society of Vascular Surgery, which honored Chuter in 2008. "It's not that often that somebody comes along and solves a problem [...]
- UCSF Vascular & Endovascular Surgery - February 07, 2014Advances in the treatment of complex aortic aneurysms — especially novel endovascular devices and hybrid procedures — make it possible to choose the right procedure for the right patient at the right time to minimize risk and maximize long-term benefit, says Michael Conte, M.D., chief of the Division of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery at UCSF Medical Center. "We still perform a significant volume of open repair for complex aneurysms," Conte says. "But we're also one of only two or three [...]
- UCSF Vascular & Endovascular Surgery - July 15, 2008Dr. Timothy A.M. Chuter was presented the Society for Vascular Surgery Medal for Innovation in Vascular Surgery at the 62nd Annual Meeting of the Society for Vascular Surgery on June 6, 2008. Dr. Chuter has been a leading developer of the technology utilized in endovascular treatment of vascular disease for over 20 years. The medal recognizes individuals whose contribution has had a transforming impact on the practice or science of vascular surgery.
