“I couldn’t be more pleased….”

It's been 14 months since my aortic valve replacement and implant of the On-X mechanical valve.  I couldn't be more pleased with the results.  In the last year, I've averaged walking 3-4 miles per day only missing a few days here and there on account of rain.  Even during this cold winter and last year,…

I was born with BAV 38 years ago. After researching valve replacements I knew what I wanted before I saw the surgeon(it was never a matter of if but when it would be replaced) and was pleased that he also suggested ON-X. I sometimes hear my AV, but it does not bother me and my…

My recovery has gone very well overall; only a slight susceptibility to high blood pressure remaining but I’ve got that under control through medication. I’m very pleased with my choice of valve and I’m aware of the excellent results shown by clinical trials so far. It appears that the On-X has the edge on the…
