I was born with a bicuspid aortic valve, which developed stenosis and calcification over the last 23 years. After it was determined that I needed my valve replaced, every medical professional I consulted recommended the On-X valve. They all recommended it because it is a permanent valve replacement solution, requiring no future surgeries, and also based on the very low risk of clotting, which may someday eliminate the need for blood thinners. The surgery went well, and since then my heart has felt much better than I expected. The valve is quiet and never bothers me, even when I sleep. -Daniel
