I am on low dose coumadin at the present and am expecting to go to aspirin and Plavix soon. I have not had any problems other than noise, I hear it clicking away mostly at night or when it is really quiet. It is supposedly quieter than other mechanical valves so I would hate to hear one of those. I do have really good hearing though. My 13 yr old daughter can hear me from across the room though no one else in my family can. We have fun with it, the noise that is. Good luck with your operation.
