Supplementary data associated with this article can be found, in the online version, at doi:10.1016/j.ejcts.2007.02.008. Fig. 1. The view of On-X valve from ascending aorta in systole and diastole. Surface of the mechanical valve leaflets could be seen clearly without contrast medium. They opened symmetrically and the opening angle of this artificial valve was appropriate. Fig. 2. The motion of the left ventricle and mechanical valve motion could be evaluated simultaneously.
