That’s the claim. Seems adverse outcomes would be the true measure. Is there any comparative study on the various mechanical valves showing that any of them (assuming a well managed INR) has higher incidence of negative outcomes or improved physical performance by patients after installation?OnX was developed by the same guys that designed st jude, so, if anything , OnX is a better St Jude
DUE TO the fact that:
OnX is the only mech valve that the leafs open 90 degrees,,,, and from there is the fact that it is
a better st jude,
the inr range, is not the issue, both work well at 2.0
I get that On-X couldn’t come into the market and say, “We’re just as good as the established product, give us a try!” So they have to create ways that they’re “better”. But are they? I’m not saying they’re worse. I just haven’t seen anything that says a persons post operative experience will be different in any meaningful way.
