Fyi- sadly, Michael Marranca passed away in 2021 from cancer, NOT heart failure. His obituary is on line. I found it when I was hoping to contact him and ask about my husband’s surgery. Sounds like he was a great man and that those valves helped him live his life fully to the end.

Thanks for sharing, I had my open heart surgery on 13 April 2021, I had my aortic bicuspid heart valve replaced with the On-X Aortic heart valve. They also repaired my damage aorta. God is good.

How loud is it?

I'm 77 and had my aortic valve replaced with an On-X mechanical on Sept 27, 2022 by open heart surgery. I don't hear any noise. I had a 19mm valve and it should have been bigger all my life, so they fit in a 21mm. God is good.
