I had surgery on 5/27/10 at Hartford Hospital and am home now. I had suffered from a tight Aortic valve. I opted for the On-X mechanical valve. It was the first On-X transplanted at the hospital. On-X trained the staff and had a representative in the operating room. I barely notice the sound. I am still in the recovery stage and can't wait to get more active.
Best Wishes to all,
Mark
