Yes, after the initial recovery period , I am only on 81mg aspirin daily, due to the bovine valve. Mechanical valves require blood thinner for life.

Yeah, I’m on 81 mg of aspirin a day plus Coumadin draws once a week and am on Coumadin for the rest of my life on a daily basis. Mechanical valves can cause blood clots so my Coumadin levels vary according to my INR levels.
