“The On-X Valve was just what I had surmised”

“I opted for an aortic valve repair 8.5 years ago because I was hoping that a new improved mechanical valve would come along before I needed my next operation. The repair worked for a little over 8 years and fortunately, the on-x valve was just what I had surmised and hoped would come to market. I contacted the company directly and they could not have been more helpful. Every single person contacted was responsive, candid and helpful. My surgeons were extremely impressed with the valve’s sound. They both commented to me that it sounded very similar to a native valve in terms of blood flow. I have no baseline to compare the on-x valve to, but I rarely hear it and I am less than a month post op. My hope is that eventually I can reduce or eliminate my need for warafin. Something that would not even be a possibility if I had opted for another valve.”
