Is it posible to have an anticoagulation treatment 50% closer to a normal INR with a mechanical aortic valve? Yes with On-X!

The only valve on the market that allows for less anticoagulant treatment after 3 months of aortic valve replacement, which is included in the AHA / ACC 2017 Guidelines. (Link: http://circ.ahajournals.org/content/ early / 2017/03/14 / CIR.0000000000000503): “A lower INR in patients with mechanical AVR On-X and without risk factors for thromboembolism, treated with anticoagulants and low doses  aspirin.”

Its unique design allows a 90 ° valve opening, which favors laminar flow, a smoother surface thanks to its composition of pyrolytic carbon, which reduces thrombogenicity and a complete support of the aortic ring with a widened entrance avoiding the valvular pannus and hides the pledgets.
