Had an MRI yesterday, feeling really good knowing I can have MRIs now that I've got a metallic valve.

I had a MRI in January. I have mechanical valves and a pacemaker. . Now I'm scheduled for rotator cuff surgery in August. Very impressed that it's possible now to have a MRI with a Pacemaker. Not so happy about more surgery. 😢

Hi everyone! Has anyone with a ON-X aortic valve had an MRI? Please let me know cause I might have one next week.

What will your MRI be for? I have 2 mechanical valves and have had many MRIs, no problem.

Do you know the brand? I got mine in 2019 and its the On-X valve

Sorin Biomedica bicarbon (made in Italy). Any commercially available mechanical valve poses no problem for an MRI. No worries.

Thanks Rita for the reassuring information. Can we connect either on WhatsApp or somewhere else to share info on INR testing, surgeries etc?

I haven't had an MRI but I've had an Echo and EKG. No problems.
